Awaken
Until now
I'd lost all hope
With mournful words
Sadness echoed
Light was drained
My blackened soul
Anchored deeply
Consciousness wept
Guilt overwhelming
Forgiveness waxed
Until now
I’d lost all faith
A two foot casket
Named Pandora
Cloaked in layers
Suffocated by soot
Her pink spirit stifled
Asleep in the darkness
Gasping for air
A white dove escaped
Until now
I’d lost all desire
A lonesome swallow
Perches alone
Lyrical memories
Carried by ghosts
Limbo is humbling
Freedom deceives
Away she flew
Until now
I was asleep.
