On the other side of madness

Each darkened corner drags you under

Filled with secret burdens

~

Falling into a nightmare’s spiral

The light of your newfound realm

Narrows to a gleaming speck

~

On the other side of sorrow

Each darkened crevice

Screams out enraged

At what’s left undone  

~

Mourning

For all that was stolen from you

Where the shadows fall long

And gather in remembrance
