In the shadow of my tearsnApparitions so firmly appearnAm I trembling?nNeed I ask this of myself, again?nnA faint whisper so unseennCan this be mine as I lie deep in dream?nSanity sings a requiemnPlease return to mennGiven all the chancesnIn light of the fading dawnnWill the blind so blindly follow menWhom lacks capability to see?nnIn the shadow of my tearsnWill my vision break the tensionnOf waters keen tranquilitynDeeply breathing so openlynnDoes a sweet alibinDeem murder fit for sacrifice?nnWill my blood stain the carpetnSo dry and innocentnThe warmth in kerosenenFlickering against my wiltering soulnnWill I be the only one?nnI lie inside myselfnBury me amidst my flooded vesselsnSanity continues to be my sincerest meansnTo wish death on myself due to cancerous veinsnnIn the shadow of my tearsnLight the way with thy heartnOh, the fool despairs when rain fallsnAfter night's isolated heatnYet, listening so closely to the smallest drop of lifenA beast is eased and quenched by the near distantnRiver flowing in my alternate beingnSo ghastly do I seemnYet also eyes I have, cannot seenIn dearest time blind will be no morenSuffering will be no morenI will be no more
