Lycus Engravings
Days blur together
Fading in obscurity
Nightmare of my mind
Tortured by reminiscence
Haunted by bittersweet memories
As acid rain corrodes and drains
Rendered engravings impose woeful shame
Gracefully fierce with a tone that abrades
Lacing a trait that sinks and fades
Chasmal and eternal
They dispel vitality
Compulsive and incessant
They deprave morality
Like a stigma burned into the hide of an animal
They exemplify enslavement to an infallible malefactor
As I drift withdrawn from a state of solace
A blanket of haze is sought with haste
Beneath an ephemeral shelter of crimson cirrus
I am transfixed by grace until impaled and displaced
