A façade of faces surrounds me.
Imaginary? No, but not real.
I gasp as I step out towards them.
How can I know how I feel?
I see a small child at the window
with a smile of such glee yet still sad.
Blood dripped onto the carpet
I hold my head as I slowly go mad.
The chants of the monsters surround me
echoing thoughts of my own
Their muttering finally hits me
and I dream of the nightmares unknown.
“Open up your mind and see
the trail you leave behind.
On the midnight road you'll stand
and this is what you'll find!”
I groan at their oral found torture
and cover my ears in a haste.
Their chanting continues to haunt me
till my mind is nothing but waste.
Stains and sanity are bygones
I fall to the blood clotted floor.
The slash of a steel plated horror
and I scream and I shout no more.
“Street-light glares on broken hearts
and empty shattered shells.
On the road to nothingness?
Only time will tell.”
