Observe the Repetitions and

Actions of the Elderly Man

Make up of a Daily Ritual

A Cycle He Cannot Comprehend

(Section 2)

Stares Agape Sullen Eyes

Unbeknownst to What's in His Abyss

A Darkened Backward

A Pale Forward An Unreachable Bliss

(Section 3)

You're Welcome to Peer Into His Head

Sit Down; Analyse the Tale

Dementia Has Stripped Him of Memory

Haunted By a Spectre; Mind Assailed

Battered Nerves Dilapidated Impulses

Eroded Emotions Weary Silence

Blurred Visions Swathe of Distress

Shattered Memories Stertorous Breath

(Repeat Sections 2 and 3)

What Is the Sound of Blackness

The Echoes of a Former Self

What is Lost and Forgotten

No Recollection; This is Farewell

On The Edge Tomorrows Forgotten

Psychologically Comatose Tomorrows Forgotten

Yesterdays Diminished Tomorrows Forgotten

A Cocoon of Self Banishment Tomorrows Forgotten

The Illustration; An Outlet; A Portal

The Edge; A Definition; A Means To An Escape

Brush Strokes; Symbolic of Past Thoughts

Bridging the Gap; To An Unsolvable Maze ?

Progress Engraved Do the Components Align ?

Curvatures and Crests Locked Away; A Riddle To Time.

Disengaged; Interrupted From a Thousand Mile Gaze

The Paranormal Presence Tormenting Crashes down in waves

Playing Puppeteer On the Strings of the Soul

Buried Flashbacks Extracted by Apparition

Vengeance; Self Inflicted Retribution

The Grim The Horror Debilitates Expiation

Give Me Just One Night of Remembrance

Instead of Another With Post Traumatic Distress

Let Me Write My Last Chapter

In An Autobiography; With My Pen That's Ink-less

(Repeat Sections 2)
