I Mourn
a soul adrift in shadows deep,
with cracks and tears that slowly seep.
i try to mend my broken bones
but echoes of pain keep haunting more.

within this heart, a heavy gloom -
decaying hopes, a somber tomb.
i shield the wounds, the scars unseen,
drowning beneath a heavy stream.

once i dreamt of radiant light,
to mend the fragments, make them right.
but now, the task seems far too vast,
a shattered vessel from the past.

in meadows sit, but never sleep
as death and discord slowly creep
humanity hates and haunts the land
and forgotten here - we are damned -
