Time’s Play

Dedication: The Dark Heart
Inspiration: Never an Absolution- Titanic

The sun pours in,
Water trickles down,
Scattered rays, resolved
To brighten the obscurity

Silence conquers decades of noise,
All silence sounds like empty music,
But the clock still ticks on,
With every passing moment.

Night falls every now and then,
Reading darkness,
Contemplating vacuum,
All ending into nothingness.

Simplicity has gone astray,
Crushed under fake poise,
Melted bodies flow,
While shadows fade away.

Time has played its last move,
The game ends,
Players die,
Time has won, yet again.
