The World You Left Behind

I am a husk of skin and bone

Eyes rotten, hands stained red 

Soulless devil, end of man


This world I live in

It no longer feels real

Reality ripped apart at the seams 


Tick tock

How much longer do we have?

The show is coming to a close 


It is time for the final act 

A dance of death and destruction 

Yielding no survivors 


Wandering a world borne of lies 

Pain crippling the lives of such youth


I wonder as I wander 

Will we ever allow ourselves to speak the truth?


Stuck in a perpetual loop of sorrow 

The majority of us pray endlessly for tomorrow

But when tomorrow is much the same 

Will we learn to cherish today?


Tick tock

Years gone by

And you begin to wonder why

In all that time 

Did you decide 

It was your time to die?


So here we are

Going on without you 

Husks of skin and bone 

Eyes rotten, hands stained red 


You left us too soon

And now we all wish we were dead 

Because at least then 

Our souls may once again be complete 


Cradled in the warm embrace of your spirit

Free from the shells of who we were 

And the monsters your absence made us 


-------------------------------------------------------------

For my dear sister: our hearts yearn in your absence. I hope to see you again sometime - in this life or the next. Love always.
