Masquerading Eden

By Ladyhawke

Lost within the mirror of time
Eternity within the shallow of a breath
Panicking for life in a merciless death

The essence of a troubled soul
Condemning madness as it's favorite poison
Hearing my own grave and feeling the ground moisten

Masquerading as an Eden
Hidden behind the mask of eternity
Fleeing the destruction awaiting in me

Degradation and destruction
Making the air cause vanity and violence
Enveloping my mind, breaking my silence

And with a wordless entreaty
Watching lifes war, and hoping death wins
My sweet surrender of a life full of sins

Love the form, asymmetric stanzas worked well with the content. Even if it was just the first two lines it would be an amazing piece... Very well written, again. *tips hat*
