Ideation
Shall I find hope
Under the stars?
In worlds harmed deep
Complete with scars?
Innumerable
Days do I count.
Against cold stone
Lights—mine—go out.
They're lit again, E'er morning's light. No peace I find; Dread golden sight. Endless the loop; Nightmares the days. Cease! Stop! Begone, You brutal ways!
