Kingdom of Rust

J.D. Treick

How dark is the sky,

On moonlit eyes.

The fear to have and rationalize.

Corrupting me inside my form,

A demons tongue, forked and torn.

Shadows creep as maidens weep,

My own finality soon to keep.

As I digress and shun away,

The only thing I've left to say.

When I am dead, forget my name,

As hallowed eve's are born in shame.

The years will pass, and pass alone.

The light once there, it never shone.

So brightly will I call to this,

the end of days that none shall miss.

When I am gone, forget my name.

This kingdom of rust remains the same.
