Salvation is a door locked shut down a corridor of pain
You bleached the goodness in my soul, tainted it with the stain of acid hate

I am part of a disconsolate army, a disciple of fears
Shackled to disenchantment, wandering the mist
Champion to torment, I hold its brutal banner proud

Salute me pessismism. I have rallied to your cause
My brittle shell encased in the steel of mistrust
Yet the wire noose of despair strangles and chokes

I am lifes captive, sleepwalking in the Shadowlands
Feet chained to hopelessness, shuffling through the dust
No escape from the sword you hold me under

The prisoner, locked in a world without walls
Damned to self-loathing, in a veil of self doubt
I see nothing but the emptiness of a candle snuffed out [comments] => 4 [counter] => 221 [topic] => 48 [informant] => puppy_dog_eyes [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry ) Your Poetry Dot Com - Sleepwalking In The Shadowlands

Because of you I see the world in bitter hues of black
Salvation is a door locked shut down a corridor of pain
You bleached the goodness in my soul, tainted it with the stain of acid hate

I am part of a disconsolate army, a disciple of fears
Shackled to disenchantment, wandering the mist
Champion to torment, I hold its brutal banner proud

Salute me pessismism. I have rallied to your cause
My brittle shell encased in the steel of mistrust
Yet the wire noose of despair strangles and chokes

I am lifes captive, sleepwalking in the Shadowlands
Feet chained to hopelessness, shuffling through the dust
No escape from the sword you hold me under

The prisoner, locked in a world without walls
Damned to self-loathing, in a veil of self doubt
I see nothing but the emptiness of a candle snuffed out
