...Symphony of catastrophic thoughts
By SolApathy
https://youtu.be/2FdP0eS47ts?t=11
Burn an effigy with dire winds upon sandstone scars
My waters chilled the flames of reckless desire
Cascaded over cliffs of careless thought
Into a pit of abandon, they rot
Courage has no purchase in the shadow of futility
These steel -grey eyes offer only resentment of a world never wandered
You ponder in the agony of what is left
A shallow thought of the bereft
I am the widow of your dreams
A place where there are no screams
Only silent reflection of all your imperfections
A cannibal of your own hope
You stare into the black mirror
Seeing your reflection holding the rope
Burn an effigy with dire winds upon sandstone scars
My waters chilled the flames of reckless desire
Cascaded over cliffs of careless thought
Into a pit of abandon, they rot
Courage has no purchase in the shadow of futility
These steel -grey eyes offer only resentment of a world never wandered
You ponder in the agony of what is left
A shallow thought of the bereft
I am the widow of your dreams
A place where there are no screams
Only silent reflection of all your imperfections
A cannibal of your own hope
You stare into the black mirror
Seeing your reflection holding the rope
