Descent
"The rain is good, it washes all the blood away." — Bors

Silent, silent as the grave
The field lies blanketed in dreams
Cut short as quickly as the blade flew

They scream in silence
Accusing, blaming, all around me
Lying worthless and wasted as if only a story

Pain rushes back to me
As I see a friend, now part of the silence
One of the crowd, although he never was

I reach to close his eyes,
His head rolls away and I chase it
Blood stains my hands as I return it to him

Slipping in his blood,
Silent noise closes in around,
I feel left out, I should join them

Covering my ears,
I stumble away screaming,
Running from the madness, praying for rain.
