This was written after I saw the Watchmen trailer last night, if you can't tell it's kind of about Rorschach, he's my favorite. The dashes are there to keep the stanzas from attacking each other.
-
The shadows splinter in the light
But light's the one who ends up bleeding
You throw the shadows and the splinters and the pain
Into the night
-
The shadows shift upon your face
Obscuring or reveling nobody knows
You walk the darkened paths and let the heroes have their light
And their day
-
Nothing changes
Rain falls down
And nothing changes
People on the ground
Nothing changes
Glass shards singing
And from bodies
Spirits winging
-
The shadows splinter in the light
And your the one who ends up bleeding
You keep away from all their hopes and come back here
Into the dark
-
Nothing changes
Blood still running
Nothing changes
Down your hands
Nothing changes
Mask reveling
Mask deceiving
Your hands hurting
-
Your mind is broken clean in two
And neither half can stop the bleeding
You're split between the pure and white and all the murky grays
Of the night
-
Nothing changes
Blue gods rising
Nothing changes
Smiles smiling
Nothing changes
Flightless flying
Nothing changes
New world rising
