Lightning flashed its brilliant light
Before I slipped into the arms of unconsciousness
Its cold embrace was quite soothing
A loss of balance and a faint
Felt rather quaint
If I must declare
But for what happened next
Reality or nightmare
I cannot say for certain

I hope everyone is well, it has been a while.

I wish I never had the taste of success
I wish it had never graced so gingerly across my lips
The nectar of the flower has proven too sweet
The high of admiration only last ever so briefly
It is a fading phantom of illusion
It haunts me, but only briefly
It hunts me constantly
I am the prey
In a constant sorrow of dismay
I should be the one in Pursuit of glory
Alas, this is not forevermore my story

Hope is a weeping veil
For I have seen one
It was worn by a man
A man on the the decrepit bridge
Will he to dance to the cries of
Broken dreams
For the world spins
And I am not a willing passenge

The Thirst for vengeance cannot be quenched
It will leave one forever parched
The only fate
Is to perish of thirst
