The Beautiful Silence

Will you go out with me into the nothing,
Falling forever, a thousand years upon a thousand,
Extinguished and broken beyond any subtle musings,
Beyond any hope of repair, my soul bends to your will.
We suffocate the Earth, screaming at this gentle spiral,
It has become a hell bent ride to extinction.

I claw at your hand, trying to get my death grip,
Just like I claw my way up this mountain of fear,
As it suffocates my heart, draining me.
I hold your hand, we stand upon the cliff face,
As we listen to the ocean roar of the city below us,
As we watch the fires go out, their orange streaks like fiery blood
As we watch the sun die, its last rays being silenced by the columns of smoke.

Thunder peals through the valley, throwing me to my feet, prostrate
Twisted, yellow and broken teeth tear at me, laugh at me.

The world is silent now, no cries of pain and no laughter.
The only motion is the ash, slowly swirling down, beautifully
Dancing her way to my feet, I turn away from the scene and I begin to weep
My tears fall into the burning hot ash, and I move my legs
They must carry me away from here, I can't look any longer
I close my eyes to ignore it all, and, stumbling, I fall in the night.

I fall forever, a thousand years, into the beautiful silence.
Are you ready still?
Take my hand as I drag you into my hell, as I pull you to your heaven
Are you afraid still?
Watch me as the nightmares disappear, fade into the walls.
You want me to leave still?
This is a dream.
Close your eyes, as the symphony of insects plays over and over,
As they slip into your skin, pushing lead into your eyelids.
I fall over, deafened by the silence
Make up your mind please, dear
I grow weary of your indecisiveness.

Inertia builds up in veins, until I reach the breaking point
I scream, exhaling my fears.
I dream, sleeping in the wiry phantasms,
I close my eyes and open them.
I am found.
