Burned and consumed, like ashen memories
Pale and undone, distant seems the world
Like freezing arctic wind, the blade of loss cuts through
To find myself again, I cannot comprehend
To walk this road, the path of desolation
Far from the sun, cold isolation
Abandoned here, in silent apathy
By all those, once so endeared
To understand, I must become the fear
To prevail, I must become the enemy
To reclaim dominion, surrender to defeat
To rise to elation, I must fall into despair
Crushed by the weight of an impending failure I endeavor in vain toward the fading sun Paralyzed in this aphotic void My strength it is lost, in the absence of light Before my eyes, as if frozen in time The rise and fall of everything once defined To acquiesce to the arms of negation Denial at once my comfort and my shame The dark that once seemed so false, so distant Now engulfs every aspect of my sight The understanding lies entwined with all I fear I am the enemy, I am the light Accept that forever, is a mere perception Relative to our own minds Every moment elapsed is an eternity In the shadow of our fleeting time Those once beloved, will fade to dust Nothing sacred, cannot be undone To overcome is to embrace our fear To forge ahead, and walk alone Reclaim desire, to see the unknown Abandon time, erase eternity Strength is attained by the fire of yearning The path to acceptance is a journey without end
