Torment Of Failed Evasion

Retreat into the shallows of light,
for weakness finds you safety,
the torment of failed evasion,
deaf from your own cries.

Once realized at ends,
stood alone with fate,
and now you've found,
that you've fallen

Self inflicted wounds,
won't numb the pain,
words pierce your heart,
drive you back from whence you came

Standing alone in the darkness,
the world collapses inside,
alone with a pillar of salt,
no where left to hide

Fearing the reprisal,
you bring about your own vengeance,
words said in defense,
solidify the unjust sentence

The pride enclosed with fear,
coated by coerced ignorance,
reflections of the faceless,
stares blankly at your soul.

Once realized at ends,
stood alone with fate,
and now you've found,
that you've fallen

Self inflicted wounds,
Won't numb the pain,
words pierce your heart,
drive you back from whence you came

Standing alone in the darkness,
the world collapses inside,
