entomb, i am trapped

my revival, in equilibrium

footprints mark my path

a guide to me but not my way

i scour over

internal signs of divergence

from what has bound me to the side of one

unmoving as if in stasis

i've remained throughout my constant fear

i've given to you all my priceless intertwinement and hours

i've believed when all I faced was lies

years have passed but I refuse to grow blind with time

churn, a cauldron under burning fuel

a new flame ignites just as one is extinguished

blackened from the soot and tainted in function

coal fuses into my words

retaliation is inherent

when my defense

is but reduced

to lifeless dust

And all my trust

never to prove

it's lasting use

the sewer of veins

boil and stain

my only use

to create and unloose

a purpose of pain

the view of my roots

evolve, i am trapped

my reprisal, an equilibrium

between planes of time

a guide to me but not my way

i rationalize

there is a path to salvage but

danger inspires the worst persona to the surface

desires of grandeur

lead to selfish dispositions

crawling away from the root truths

defining our stance

distance brought unto us

the splitting of a wilted yew

this antiquated battle shall not be won
