Darkness

In a cold room, where time stands still

Sleeps a frozen soul, a misshapen thing

Tiny spears of sunlight broke through the darkness

And impaled the eyes of this strange being

He awakes from his slumber, opens his eyes

Nervous and tired he shakes his head

To avoid the rays of pure light

He slowly painfully leaves his bed

Now that his sleep was broken

A flame of memories began to spread

And with them came a vortex of pain

That played havoc inside his head

Pain unbearable, an endless moment

Vortex commands him to recall

He twists in agony stumbles through the door

Into the unknown, until his fall

Lying down on the ground

Too confused to look around

Forgotten memories are struggling

To get out

He manages to lock them up

To somehow keep them at bay

Vortex is slowing down

Pain and agony are fading away

He glances at this strange world

There's something unpleasantly familiar around

Utter darkness chills him to the bone

Light is now too far behind

He looks behind into the warm light

Somehow he prefers this chilling mess

With heavy thoughts upon his mind

He steps deeper into the darkness

Now he is recognizing many different shapes

He knew them once in his former life

They made him feel calm and relaxed

Peaces of lost memory folded without strife

Then darkness assumes its form

A great hall of memories built upon his past

For the first time after countless years

He felt joy and tranquility at last

But a warning came from out of nowhere

A mute presence somewhere in his hall

He turns around and faces his fear

A grotesque creature standing tall

Uglier than himself, huge and disgusting

It stares at him with its yellow eyes

A dreadful monstrosity shrouded in chaos

Stabs his soul with thousand knives

Forbidden memories crushed their prison

Disappointments, sorrow and fatal mistakes

Although silent, the creature talks much

A living dream vision of a forgotten past

There is no fear pain or sorrow

There's only strength, destruction and rage

And they all found one target

A monstrous hideous visage

"Blood poured out from me

As I gazed in disbelief

Into the remains

Of a broken mirror"
