decembers rain falls cold
the brim of my hat overflowing
there are rivers of sorrow
and oceans of regret freezing tonight
but i weather this storm
-this torrent of shattered life-
the mystery of silence consumes me
the answers of sacrifice eludes me
the dreams of the symphony play into
the darkness
the soul of artemis sinks into the
shadow of circumstance
decembers rain falls cold
it forms in small pools around my shoes
the numbness grows and creeps to my
heart
as the pain reminds me
the reckless summers of when we dammed
the river
-we damned ourselves in unknown water-
the seed of depravity planted in the
womb of abandon
one life given to the desire of
wickedness
the soul of artemis consumed by the
plot twist of fate
fate
twisting
turning
burning
fate
spiraling
constricting
grinding
fate
fate is a portal to madness
madness is a portal to divinity
divinity is a portal to immortality
we damned ourselves in the waters of
madness
our conception in the pool of regret at
the palace of sin
we damned ourselves in the waters of
madness
december rain falls around me
cursed to be a statue of regret
until my brother returns with the
sacrifice
until artemis is free
i will weather this storm
-this storm of confusion-
