Reigning

Silence-it hits you
Like a dead weight once you realize once you realize
Everything you once held dear
Is gone

Loneliness-it creeps up on you
Like the shadows on
A lone wall as the sun sets
Into nothingness

Despair-as solid as the faith
Once instilled into your very core
Sets in, and you realize
You are alone

The wind whispers-your only ally
Against the raving darkness
As it numbs you
Pushes you deeper

Like velvet-the tongues lash out
The pain a welcome guest
Resident
To conquer the waveless emotion

Eyes wander
Marvel
At what you've become
At what you no longer are

Fear-it stabs you in the back
Piercing the dormant heart
As the blackness sets in
And numbness reigns once again
