Devour
Sweet summer heat gives way
to harsher cold freezing out the light
Shadows rise as soldiers preped for battle
The sun is dead; they declare into the night
The moon is king; ending the reign of day
Childish innocence melts away
replaced by shame turning into regret
Scars emerge as headstones for faded memories
The soul is dead; it decays into the night
The pain is king; ending faith in anything divine
Hazy solitude grows thick in time
devouring every wonderful sight
Emptiness births echos that sound like voices
Your are dead; there's nothing more to be done
Death becomes king; devouring me as there is nothing
else for me to become.
