eulogy

It is the soundless whisper of pain,
The heartless cry of a soul in agony,
A raven's call heard over a dying breath,
Heralding the beginning of the insanity.

Love has no place in this valley of pain,
Truth long forgotten, buried and dead.
The warmth of day betrayed to this night,
This night of eternal darkness filling my head.

Whispering, reminding of a heart betrayed,
A love that is lost….the games never played.
Falling, tumbling to the depths beyond your eyes,
Searching for truth….dying so the Phoenix may arise.
Arise from the depths of the pain and anger,
Down through the suffering and despair,
Down below the chaos and confusion,
Down to the bottom, to the oblivion awaiting you there.

This final act has come and gone, and none saw it pass me by,
I lie here alone and silent, and think of those who will never cry.
The coldness of it, creeping blindly, yet always seeing,
Frustration at knowing you have lost, pain wracking your soul's being.

So you send your farewell to those who graced your life,
To all those who never cared, who never will.
Thank them all for showing what this night had to offer,
Fading into oblivion as the final act has left you dead and still
