nocturne

[bagzy]

wash out my sadness
faces grimacing at me
seeking my counsel in the night
shadows twist and crawl at my feet

fleeting thoughts
escape my mind as i reach
i call unto pain to relieve me
fear creeps in to deceive me

a lingering hiss
whispering sickness
growling death
screaming oblivion

a note of horror strikes
overwhelmed by the sheer strength
of the silence that follows
i'm defenseless

block out my anger
lifeless eyes sink their gaze into my flesh
searing my skin
eating away at my being

i erupt into a blazing flame
it engulfs me
i'm embraced
i softly fade into nothingness

i'm awake
