An ordinary day
All of my raging and
Railing against this storm
Air heavy with gloom, I
Lay still upon the wood
Strangled neath the grey calm
Tongue thick with screams unheard
Lonely, my gaze falls like tears
Whispers this errant voice
Soothing me. Wishing to be
Free from my flesh and bones
Inside this carcass, death
Prey to this sorrow that
Forces me to my knees
Pray to the God of light
Cast your shadows on me
Warm is the blood that stains
These hands. Draining from me
This ordinary day
All of my raging and
Railing against this storm
Air heavy with gloom, I
Lay still upon the wood
Strangled neath the grey calm
Tongue thick with screams unheard
Lonely, my gaze falls like tears
Whispers this errant voice
Soothing me. Wishing to be
Free from my flesh and bones
Inside this carcass, death
Prey to this sorrow that
Forces me to my knees
Pray to the God of light
Cast your shadows on me
Warm is the blood that stains
These hands. Draining from me
This ordinary day
