Full Moon, Madness and a Solitary Whisper



"There are some things you don't come back from.

You either live with them, or you don't"

- Martinez from The Walking Dead

 

 

~ Full Moon, Madness and a Solitary Whisper ~

 

Ebony skies

darkness cries

a misplaced moon

madness consumes

 

is this real? am I here?

wake, wake up

 

swimming in lies

stars in disguise

a full moon mirage

felled by sabotage

 

keep walking? or disappear?

wake, wake up

 

consciousness revised

by the onslaught of spies

called upon by the mind

to rob the heart blind

 

am I insane? is nothing sincere?

wake, wake up

 

stillness becomes my demise

uncertain how to rise

every direction

is a question

 

can a windless night carry a whisper?

wake, wake up

The Faltering

~ The Faltering ~

 

In the dark of night, I falter

having tripped across your altar

I tried to make my heart adjust

when asked to once again face Trust

 

'hear my voice; hear my voice' I plead

apparently, you found no need

and I learned your love was unjust

when asked to once again face Trust

 

nail to coffin, you were one more

to a truth I cannot ignore:

time and patience just turns to dust

when asked to once again face Trust

 

in the dark of night, I falter

when asked to once again face Trust.
