Last Barrier
Viscous thoughts embrace, emerging madness
tattered mind, leaching sanity
dismembered soul crying tears of blood
cheeks stained scarlett, infinity
Talons of delusion tearing, pending escape
portent of revenge, take heed
decaying corpse of a once couragous heart
withered soul charred black by rage, freed
Breaking through thin veils, last barrier
jagged shards of promises, curtain torn
bereave dreams frozen by bitter winds of pain
while beholding the death of innocence, mourn
