The Nights that Blackened my Soul, The Days That Burned my Eyes

I broke the back bone of darkness,.  
When I was lost in a chemical abyss,

I walked in sunlight so impure it destroyed my vision,.
Wishing for another passing of the seasons,.  

We found the canyons in the distance,.
Yet we walked into them with grave consequence,
 
Climbed out finger by bloodied finger,.
Escaping into the desert where delusions still linger,.

The poisons drip from within the crevices,.  
Controlled by strong handed vices,.  

We struggle to send them forth to the endless night sky,.  
Where I desire to lay to rest my lie,.  

We must cease fortune within the darkened day,.  
We must ripe the world with our new form of decay,.

The light shines in the holes of evil,.  
Novas burst from hearts of the cynical,.
 
Embrace the world's flames,.  
Walk forth without shame,.  

For the life you reap is the life you give,.  
Harvest the crust from your sleeping eyes and live,.  

When will we see life stop from passing us by,.  
And become at peace, my friend, you and I??>?>?>?
