Laid within a formless coffin

Alone I wither for all time

Transfixed by chaos, bled for eons

A rumination of the blind

Of the blind…

A lasting fragment

Deprived of purpose

Serene but clouded

By tears of gas

In time my presence

Will be ageless

Memory fading

In clouds of ash

In the night I permeate

Shadows of a life despised

A relic of a former state

The cryptic light I cannot find

The wooden walls are closing in

A coffin lid over my eyes

An inner voice becomes a scream

My nightmare is now realized

A stillness ever maddening

My muffled cries now seep through time

A revelation now beheld

In unreality confined

The casket of my being molders

Left in cosmic atrophy

A figment of imagination

The universe disregards me

Lowered into empty space

Wide awake inside a shell

Left to dream and ruminate

Hallucinating thoughts in hell
