A Shade In The Shadows

 

I awoke, in an unremembered night, or maybe not

To a shade in the shadows and the fetid smell, of rot

Twas a state of non-reality, where nightmares begin

Or the end of rationality, for it has always been Him

Unmoving, I reached out and I searched, for its face

But there was nothing there, just a void, of inner space

There was nothing at all, not even a zephyr of breath

Just the lost memories, of embalming, with crystal meth

I was unfeeling, desensitized, there was no turning back

As I couldn't find what I sought, as grey turned to black

And my fears, were not fading and I could not, pretend

That I ever knew who I was, or what it meant to ascend

There's a shade in the shadows and I'm looking down

At empty eyes, sallow skin and death's frozen frown

I was him, 'now', I am Him, but I am unable to see

For in this nebulous shroud, there is nothing, of 'me'
