    I
    Children of a lingered God
    Spawn of some forgotten seed
    Trapped here in a nightmare world
    Left alone and chained in mortality
    Live
    Tear stained and obsidian
    Followed in a curtain call
    Cut short by this weary fate
    Memoirs told so whimsical
    In
    Knowledge of these relapses
    Fallen into utter darkness
    Held fast by this mortal coil
    To suffer here in silence
    A
    Delusional to believe a lie
    A lie of utter happiness
    A release from these black thoughts
    Of wandering and restlessness
    World
    Suffering drags along so slowly
    Made slower by the work of fools
    Made painful by a memory
    Lost in time but hardly gone
    Painted
    Open up a black scorched door
    Walk along in madness
    Painted obsidian by remembrance
    Scorched and frayed in sadness
    Black
    Pray a million empty prayers
    To some empty cerulean sky
    Scream aloud and choke inside
    As I walk along and die

    The darkest thing I've ever written...
