This feeling caught me by the veins,
making its way to my core.
It wasn’t unfamiliar,
but it was stronger than before.
It gripped my heart,
and quickly turned it into ice.
Gushing blood now petrified,
yet I didn’t meet my demise.
Eyes lost their luster,
becoming as blank as a slate.
Adversity now bowed before darkness,
my ambition had sealed its fate.
Foregoing the conscience,
virtues and morals were for the weak.
In a world full of illusions,
futile hope only grew bleak.
This feeling encompassed me,
breaking the mirrors before my eyes.
Without control or restraint,
I could see through all these mortal lies.
Heaven and Hell fell to silence,
like the deaf ears of the old.
Somewhere in the depths of the abyss,
bitter thoughts had turned me cold.
