paled skin

so

paper thin

luminous eyes

reflect

the dark skies

hope

has left us

in its place

we

are

watching

waiting

for our demise.

deep silence

sleep's

sweet kiss

no home

on

our own

we are

watching

waiting

for

Middle Earth

to be overthrown.

Living

becomes

a sin

the Dark Lord

will

always win.

We are

watching

waiting

for death's welcoming arms.
