Agony

Agony
Written By: Bernel Rennie on February 15th 2013

The power taken from the cloaked man called ignorance
Was not about to allow you to experience bliss
An emotional delight to the demons of vice
Curtailed breath but lengthened time
To experience what was not wanted yet needed
Consequence conceived from sorrow and regret
Wisdom the unwelcomed neighbor at the gate
Minding business wasn’t their goal it was simply to help
For true concern was on the agenda when they approached each step

A bright night will always distract you from what’s being coated with shadows
Looking up to the moon and counting the stars that seem to dance to the melody of the cold breeze
False confidence in each advancing step on the unlit path toward a destination only known by its edge
Into the abyss like a pebble into a still pond the ripples tear souls asunder
Exposing secrets to the naked earth in the sound of roaring thunder
It shakes in respond and shivers to the cold tears that cover
The same way it covers, it drowns in an attempt to muffle out the sounds, to snuff out life

Ignore the surface for the effects disappear quickly like a signature on the shore at high tide
But the core can’t hide, the heat from the broken center resonates throughout the body
The strongest part announces its pain as it hates the surface for being able to hide so well
Great walls hide everything from the naked eye, draw a window to see within
The glass pane restricts movement creating the unlucky bystander
To be witness to the incident of which destiny that was chosen by the vessel its master
