There is nowhere to run
From the most fearsome of foes.
There is nowhere to hide
From greatest enemy of all time.
There is no way to escape
It's ever present approach.
There is no way to dodge
Its on-coming attacks.
There is no way to barricade yourself
From its macabre horror.
There is no way to censor
The most gruesome of sights.
There is no way to close your mind
To the most terrible of frights.
There is no way to numb
The most painful of wounds.
There is no way to fight
When loneliness settles
Into your bones.
