Asylum


Resolution at last failed,

Never know where others lie,

Ghosts even slightly trailed,

Trust enough to let me die,

 

Reason now so long gone,

From many excuses I hear,

Convinced my purposeful pawn,

Still there's one whom I fear,

 

White's a color I adore to see,

One you might need to find,

But yet restraints are needed for me,

A symbol for one piece of mind,

 

Damned by poison,

Blame me not,

For this is the season,

Where one must rot,

 

Visions of blood,

Voices of dawn,

Spirit might flood,

Needed to fawn,

 

Stop the clock,

Stop it now,

Build my block,

And tell me how
