Two Minds and a Screaming Soul

Cool breeze and autumn leaves
And a moon that lights the sky
Unspun by fate, undone by time
I wait for peace to pass me by.

No soul in sight for a million miles
Just me and the screaming sea
Ripped by choice, gripped by my conscience
I sit alone, with legions, and me.

Reflecting on my past life
Attempting to glean what tore it all
Bent by burden, rent by guilt
I slump, spent in blood, and fall.

I hate, and still more I fear
Both me and my divided mind
Stirred by despair, spurred by visions
I think of my pain, and it’s me I find.

Wonder is no more the word
For no more does my mind fly
Haunted by memories, wanted by void
I wish for life, and I wish I could die…
