Into the shadows

Whiling away the hours
Consulting with the shadows
Insulting your own being

Thinking over life
Ending futile pain
Killing source of pain

Into the shadows I charge
Joining them at last
New page,
New dead life.

Deception and lies

Weary of cries
Deception and lies

Truth died alongside joy
Buried it was
In a mass grave of human hopes and dreams.

Now, lies rule
On this poor land enchanted
On myself with death haunted
On my being with sorrow laden
My being is no craven
For I accept those lies as truth now
One and only
Truth of my life
