Dead Lights Glare

Stricken by my darkest fears
And deprived of my golden years
Condemned by perpetual time
Existence is my only crime

The flames within
Flickering in a latent haze
The exhuasted breath of life dissipates

Benumbing tears
Draining from me eyes
As I lament
Moments before I die

Enthralled by quietudes somnolent hold
As the dead lights seduce my inner throne

My persona soars
Toward the light
Into the aperture
Seeking new life
