Chains

At times, the night is dark

Times when the world outside burns in me

And the major parasite attacks

Ignoring is an option, but not for long

For it comes to feed again

Even stronger now if allowed

And fear is a thief from behind

And I confess my disbelief

How long has it been?

How many times have I found mercy?

How many times only demise?

I feel the silent death that comes quietly

As the flesh remains in numbness

Frozen as the winds outside

Quiet as the dark night sky

The weight on my chest and I can’t breath

It takes away my silver, my pain and my sea

It is too soon for so much grief

And it’s too late to fall asleep

Everything that lives on my footprints

But a little of what I am is always lost

And I keep on dissolving through time

Another night, one less fragment of me
