Mania

Goddess of Insanity

I run into the night

Trying to hide in the black

That clings to everything

But the shadows creep

And stir

This darkness is too human

For a overcrowded soul

 

Erebos is holding the world

In the darkness of his embrace

While Hemera

Sleeps away the night

Waiting for Alectrona

Goddess of the morning

And of waking up.

 

I need emptiness

Loneliness

But this world is full

Overflowing

 

That’s the way we’ve made it

(We’re all scared to be alone)

Drowning ourselves in other people

(Yet we crave solitude)

(Or something a lot like it)

(Love?)

 

I need quiet

Silence

But this world is thunderous

Deafening

 

And now

My feet slow

The echoes imitating

And I’m stopped

Still

Except for steady rising chest

And white clouds of breath

 

Hypnos is seeking me

I feel him

Close behind

Morpheus in his shadow

While Selene

Gazes down upon us all

Silent and cold. Serene.

 

So I sit down and wait

Wait for the insanity to finish me

Because I can run from the rest

Run to the ends of the earth

 

But I can’t escape myself

I love this piece.
It has a somberous flow through it.
Kind of reminds me of "Bring Me to Life" by Evanescence.
Lovely job(:
