Lament of All Things

Light bends round the heart. Blood swells, vessels bulge. Head swims, soul gasps. Last days, final rites. The lament of all things in the dying light of the day. A wraith borne of torment, a shadow under the veil. The failure of ancient good. Fear soaked delusions. The absence of any joy has left me defeated. Light bends round the heart. Will it ever stop? These dreams are empty. Even tears are gone.
