Familiarity of the nonexistent

Words discovered in a dusty brain
now misty echoes of rusty pain
In dark shadows lurks despair
crimson eyes through you stare

A familiar place you\'ve never been
sleeping visions awake within
Broken hours broken sleep
sprouting from time one does not keep

Distant words spoken never said
sounds of dreams and of the dead
You\'ll hear as clear as you\'ll ever find
unspoken thoughts from a frozen mind

Broken memories strands unwind
cutting visions that bleed and blind
Beds of shadows in fears workshop built
from metal of ignorance and wood of guilt

Images that dim then glow
visions of places I do not know
Faces and places I hold so dear
now only past traces that become unclear
