The Cycle Broken
By: Chiruken
A cry in the darkness
Tears in the shadows
A scream pierces the night
Dreams turn to nightmares
Ideals are shattered
Innocence is lost
Warmth becomes coldness
Life shifts to death
The rain falls blood red
Joy changes to anguish
Anguish evolves to apathy
And then the oblivion of madness
Through sanguineous rain
Witness to chaotic carnage
Steps grace and beauty incarnate
An anchor in the sea of madness
A sheath for the excess of violence
Hope reborn in the still of night
Trust and betrayal
Love and hate
Life and death
Blind for a moment
Deaf for an instant
Disoriented as time stops
A scent familiar and dear
A voice revered
All crash down in destruction
Lost and broken hearted
Shattered by grief
Wandering aimlessly through life
An instant
An eternity
Forever lasts but a moment
Cold and lonely
Weary beyond endurance
Unable, unwilling to seek rest
The beauty of determination
The allure of courage
The exquisite enchantment of innocence
A need awakens
A desire grows
All thoughts focus
Protect the dreams
Harbor the ideals
Guard the innocence
The quest for salvation ends
True atonement finally begins
Old wounds start to heal
Happiness unsought for
Unworthiness perceived
Undeserving assumed
A broken heart mended
Love reawakens
Life is chosen over death
Farewell to the past
Goodbye to the night
Adieu shadowed existence
Embrace the future
Greet the morning
Welcome the light
A chance encounter
An unguarded moment
Torment and despair awakened
A ghost of yesterday
Vengeance plotted
Revenge executed
Rising from the ashes
Reborn from despondency
Desperate to find new meaning
Hope returned
Love guarded jealousy
Peace restored
