Time has passed in shadows, small insects of darkness that have haunted my soul. So slowly was its torture, that for moments, I believed it had stopped completely.

Now I fear it's emminent return will throw me amoung the thorns of reality, and that I will be lost within its drum. I have followed another mans path, and must now remove myself from his cloth to create my own. But so weary am I of a world that runs to save nothing. I have become so tired of its endless greed and miscomprehension.

And now... now to be alone in this hell, is the worst thought of all.

To become trapped in the swamps of concrete and have nowhere to turn. To lie cold amoung down filled pillows. To live like a king on a throne made of sadness.I cringe and tear at their thought.

Listen LISTEN! the bell tolls and the insects flee. Sunrise comes, and its chill is ernest. Time comes to claim me, to claim my happieness as toll for its passing...

where will I run?

  • This is excellent, Droevig! Excellent! :)

    And these lines: "But so weary am I of a world that runs to save nothing. I have become so tired of its endless greed and miscomprehension." - They tie in so well with that last question! Where to run, indeed!?!?
