Behind the Dark

It’s in your eyes,

Can’t you hear the cries?

Abhorrence

What burning revenge?

Expire your desire,

Consuming the wildfire,

The silence is violent,

Are the screams vehement?

You lost yourself,

Blinded by your hatred,

The demons yelling?

Aren’t you scared of the mourning?

Behind the mask,

Who hides like a coward?

Your hands are trembling,

There is no escaping

Shadows upon you,

You won’t get through

The ebony soul will not vanish,

And remorse is not finished,

Did you make any promise?

In pursuit of fairness,

The curtains

Are the worst presents,

You will be blamed,

Aren’t you ashamed?

Namelessly,

You lost humanity.

C. Jessica Cathala
