The Deluge

It pours over me This unwritten tome of despair From the depths of nothingness, I see you in the distance I feel your presence in every fibre of my being These dreams came to nothing They scatter on the wind With the shadows of our ghosts These fears are all you left me To drown what I have lost So let these waters rise Droplets of rain circle around me My footsteps resounding in my head The lightning cracks and illuminates all It beckons me to follow To reach the source of that which cannot be uttered yet impossible to remain silent on Inundated, I stand Broken, I struggle Dead, I wither My body, crumbles into dust These dreams came to nothing They scatter on the wind With the shadows of our ghosts These fears are all you left me To drown what I have lost So let these waters rise Battle the current and swim against the stream One last struggle to convince the tide that we’re worthy One final look at your face will suffice End this senseless tirade of doubt and fear Permit closure and if everything is to be, then let it rain down on us! For it will take over one way or another It’s up to us how we bid each other farewell Let it drench this annihilated land Let it reclaim its rightful place Let it consume all that we are! The ink begins to dry out The chronicle concludes Nothing more left to say I vanish from existence...
