Graham Stone - A Silent Scream Screeched Across Eternity

Описание

Diluted pupils Stare and burn holes in the sky Ragged breath rips the air and silence I crumble where I lay. Eternity scrapes across my face. Chapped lips beg silenced prayers Stuck fast, hopelessly to ruin and waste I am an eroding ignominy. Like ice I stick, frozen, dead. Bend my fingers and watch them splinter Icicles should scatter, a litter of glittering heads I am wet flesh stuck to an icy bed. Put to slumber I never dream But watch and watch and watch the revolting heavens Incapable of ripping myself apart, I’ve become an eternal creep. I thought once That I should never bear myself, With an enduring sanity And perhaps I haven’t Who I ask would endure this bitter hell? And only now does the sun come, Only now do the scales melt from my hand Like gleaming frost in the morning light Perhaps now, when it does not matter, Can I stand.
