...Requiem of the damned
By SolApathy
Darkness unseen
My smile keen
Clothes kept and clean
Not a glimmer of my self-odium, seen
I shroud thoughts of thee
Under a cloak of serene
Save thy true self to see
In a mirror --darkly
Reflect in the terror of what I’ve become
Unable to be
Numb
Feeling the world at the velocity of light
Far beyond my ability to fight
Every sound a friction
Rubbing raw my ability to cope
The darkness spoke
Every feeling of everyone; the terror of my plight
Saturated with something sinister
Deliver the world to silence and serenity
Devine divinity
I am the requiem of the damned
--Lucidity breaks to the surface for one breathe
I whisper softly for you to end my plight
End me now before I snuff out your

I really like the occasional use of Shakespearean language in this beautiful poem. "End me now before I snuff out your light", that line was the proverbial punch in the face that made this write so powerful. I must take a bow to your talent now, dearest. Queen Reb;).

I miss your nightly posts. The night just never feels complete without them. This was haunting. That push and pull. I've always loved how you have your own style.
