Dark musings....

Trying to see what's coming
A little up ahead
Maybe I should be running
I do nothing instead.

I'm keeping it all inside
I feel it burn my soul
The more I try to hide
The stronger is its hold.

I'll dream it once again,
I'll live it in my mind
And maybe only then
I'll put it all behind.

But no, it's always there
A little lingering hope
I know it isn't fair
But it's my way to cope.

I've torn myself apart
Visions rage in my mind
I listened to my heart,
And pushed reason aside.

Seeking what cannot be
All for a one-time dream
But now I hold the key
To all that was unseen.

I'll lock it up again
In soul's deepest jail.
The beast is laying slain.
Forget its dying wail.
