Despair Unveiled

Despair Unveiled

Emptiness, hungry you walk with me 
even though I am not enough to ease your hunger. 
Loneliness, a fulfilled feeling to feed with my agony. 
Despair, you guide me through the darkest night. 
Though hungry you are not you make me see 
that I am still alone, and alone I shall forever be. 

Hope, my friend, the bringer of dreams, 
the bringer of disappointment. 
The dreams wither away 
but return unveiling their disguises. 
Night, my only true friend, 
the horizon of my soul. 
hatred, you clothe me in the cold air of the night. 

The distant horizon seems brighter 
but the storms of the past screams before me. 
Though these plains I have so often travelled 
they are forever changing. 
In the cold darkness that lies ahead of me 
shine vast, challenging eyes. 
Warning me of the illusions to come... 

I look back and see 
the moon shining bright over the cliffs. 
Where the wolves slept so peacefully 
after orchestrating my dreams. 

Though so far, it seems so close to me 
And I know I will return within long time. 

When the curtains are dropped 
I behold my despair unveiled. 
And I am ready to return... 
They come at me to feed upon my wretched flesh 
as I lie bloodless in a bliss.
