Hunger 16:19
Fallen Pressed beneath a blinding sky Fade against the unending, dreadful pale Unchanging in ashes A specter writhing in despair The silhouette upon the backdrop For a cold funeral Lived every day like sand over skin Recalling the vague touch of the sidewalks Shadows from street lights I'll never be there again I woke up in green fields and smiled in the sun I never knew I'd be leaving I didn't mean to walk away And there is no coming back One step too many and now I'm gone It's all a collection of moments An arsenal of regrets The realization leaves no smile Cracks my skin and breaks my mind I found a new grave in a cold tomb Miserable sleep in every fatal dream Unrest now in a cradle of regret Hidden, wounded, the sun has died Never breathing on what lies in the black Stolen just beneath the signs of life The wind tears me from myself, erasing me away Slowly becoming invisible Memories frozen painfully inside my head Hardened, inaccessible They hang suspended from my skull Emptiness swells in the absence of a reflection Blackness of death suppresses Encircled by emptiness Entranced in weakness Where I am becoming Nothing Nowhere The end, undeniable It has begun In a place of forced solitude Where I can never be free Of the tempest through which I cannot see Now I know, in this life I will never see the ease that I must reach And in the end This snowfall will bury me

Stillness 15:07
The sun grows stronger as I grow weaker The snow melts beneath my dying body Every shimmer of hope or strength Bombarded, ended Alone with my dreams and memories To depart in the barren white cold Defeated by the winter Crushed beneath hunger Extinguished by thirst The life I lived I gracefully relinquish my will to live So I sink into the snow My eyes close My mind drifts into blackness The weight of me is leaving this living body A barren construction dragged far beyond the touch of gentle light and soothing caress And I awake into another world Emerging through a portal of summer leaves Where the sun smiles upon my beautiful children Illuminating ablaze, a lover's blooming eyes The sun sets behind cerulean hills Giving birth to the moon's rise As the water flows gently beneath our clasped hands We live and we die by the moon's pale light Shining us on through the faded eyes of lifeless time Burning light emerges in the white sky Ripping my mind back to the surface Squinting in the rays of the sun To find myself still pinned against the bleak terrain Certain now that here I will die I raise a withered hand to block the light Frozen breath chokes inside Casts a broken shadow My body is drained empty My blood it has run dry The storm and what it has taken from me Forsaken life left behind The sun shines brightly, peeling back the snow Revealing the grey beneath Drops begin to fall gently on my eyelids And the clouds begin to form Allowing the rain to finally pour The storm and what it has taken from me Forsaken life left behind Candlelit smiles live on in others' eyes But they burned out in mine The wind that brings the cold Rustles the curtains in my mind Ending the thirst Become nothing Falling asleep in the morning rain
