Trapped in a world where I don’t belong A whole life spent in search of meaning I now distance myself from this abode of suffering Nothing matters, apart from my unending solitude Hopelessness troubles again my soul As I walk past the cemetery gates My mind longs for shelter As madness tears my soul A soothing rain falls upon The damp crypts, crumpled by time They encase lives gone, drowned by sorrow Their uneasy spirits roam about their resting place I can’t help but wonder About the countless waste of lives Where are they going? Where do they come from? (Will we ever know?) Sobbing breaks the dreary silence Loved ones mourn their loss Their grief… So real Will their dead truly rest in peace? A stone prison will be my final stop A guardhouse built, brick by brick, by sin A place of suffering My garden of silence
