Crestfallen

Weary of the life I lead, crestfallen I’ve become A knight that was once filled with pride has come undone Wandering aimlessly in a kingdom where echoes fade I sit in solitude reflecting on the choices I’ve made The sounds of demons elevate gloom and despair Whispers of darkness send out a chill in the air In my mind I battle the phantoms that have long deceased Longing for solace but knowing I won’t find peace Awaiting the day for my last breath to be drawn No longer caring to live to see another dawn Lacking the honor and courage to stand and to fight And now my soul is to be forever devoid of light The sounds of demons elevate gloom and despair Whispers of darkness send out a chill in the air In my mind I battle the phantoms that have long deceased Longing for solace but knowing I won’t find peace
