- more time spent alone
- each and every day
- looking from a distance
- trying to find my may
- The more time spent looking out
- the more i look inside
- there is only me there
- no one else to confide
- the shadows come alive
- dancing with the light
- everything is calm
- everything feels right
- I peer deeper inside
- this cave within my mind
- i step away from reality
- anxious to what i may find
- A quick glance behind me
- the lights fading from my view
- physically i am shaken
- but my resolve remains true
- the shadows are alive
- conquering the light
- everything is black
- everything in sight
- there is no sound
- i cannot see
- nothing to touch
- there is only me
- but the silence has a tone
- the darkness takes a form
- and the hollow can be felt
- my mind becomes a storm
- the shadows become a torrent
- there never was a light
- i'm standing in the calm
- but nothing here feels right
- now before me stand three figures
- or maybe its just one
- three faces bearing a name
- the elder, the father, and son
- Their form is intangible
- but somehow distinct
- they each hold their chain
- together they are linked
- the shadows are born of them
- like a candle gives birth to light
- i am pulled to where they stand
- i have no will to fight
- the son speaks first:
- "i am ambition, your pride
- i was each and every dream
- you forgot and so i died"
- a smile like pity..maybe relief
- flit across his face
- now he's gone.. or was he ever there
- two remained in place
- the father lifts his head:
- "I am strength, the rock you stand on
- your will to fight for those you love
- but you ran and now i'm gone"
- his head lowers as though in shame
- his form crumbles and blows away
- only one shade left
- the only one to stay
- The elders voice sounds older than time itself:
- "I am wisdom and humility
- you never once knew me
- always lost.. in your vanity"
- his voice begins to change
- its no longer soft and sage
- now it tastes like poison
- fermented and bittered with age
- "you had life given to you
- you were even give choice
- you're his pride and joy?"
- the malice is clear in his voice
- "you took it all from me!
- i was his favorite and best
- but when you came along
- i was forgotten like all the rest!"
- I realize the old sage no longer stands before me
- two wings sprawl out from the twisted being
- both of them black and without feather
- i know now who this is that i'm seeing
- the administer of my judgment
- born of jealousy and rage
- come to give my sentence
- this void.. to forever be my cage
- he puts his hands on my shoulders
- "but now your forgotten just like me"
- his forehead rests against my own
- "this place IS you, your eternity!"
- With that hes gone
- and i remembered the three
- they each had a name
- their name.. it was me.
- i look around
- but there is only me
- my arms are bound and in my hands..
- the chain that joined the three
- i close my eyes to take it all in
- this can't be real only a...
- there's not a sliver of light
- not even a gleam
- forever i'm alone
- what the hells a day
- lost in the distance
- i'll never find my way
