If.
A cacophony of shadows,
and all I feel is fear.
Memories were faded
like a lullaby in
the empty air.
In the never-ending absence
of hope,
I lost
the greatest part of my faith,
and was left—its worst.
The choir sings the cold
breath of sorrow
and joyfully embraces
the nightmares
of the overthrown.
The feeling is haunting
the lines as I walk
the death of light
in the graveyard where
my completeness broke.
I walked the moon behind
and found my pains
alive
they sang,
to the lullaby and to the four corners
they hide
and chanted
spells of whispers
to my wandering mind.
All's frozen and put on fire
to death
and I was ruled by the child
of a never-ending hate,
yet there's a melody chanting
in cacophony of
thoughts
and it's music—to my burning soul.
