Healer

The lights went out, like shades pulled down
terror holds tight, would I see the next night
dark waves washed over, sunlight drowned
afraid of the dark, but more scared of the light

Life, just a flicker of time
a candle flame gleaming, darting and streaming
wax dripping as bells chime
in those dreams I feel like screaming

The great deceiver, time, was once a healer
shrill screams fill the air, a nightmare
feverish, delirious, just me and the reaper
felt like a lifetime, all my crimes laid bare

Felt a stab of pain, was a flash of life
as bright as the sun in the midday sky
life, just a flicker of time
one that I'd embrace, no matter how hard the climb

Thanks for reading,

Peace & Love.

Kyle,
