 PART ONE,  "SELF MADE PITCH"




THE ENDLESS DARKNESS OF NEVERMORE
{Based on a True Story}

PART ONE, "SELF MADE PITCH"



I have had my soul caught between two shades of darkness
The times have been lonely
and the loss of measuring time is
a careless whisper away from an eternal sleep,
Standing in the meeting of two walls,
creates a corner black and as deep as evil
holding the secrets to vanishing souls,
I know, for I watch in secret,
here in this pitch of all pitch;
where many hap-hapless souls
fade into the endless darkness of the nevermore...
So many times I would close my eyes,
walk into the darkness and I'd go weak in body,
then feel a flushing of my soul.
Tight in the corner I would stand,
I would put a hand and elbow on each wall;
Steady and steadfast with what faith I may muster up
and decide to remain in this limbo
Blend into the darkness of before
and shut out all of the pain laced in agony,
or deal with it the best I can.
After all I am a master at it,
for the longest time now.
I open the door to the darkness
this pitch of black that has surrounded my miserable life
where I witnessed unspeakable horrors
I know souls that were sweet as fresh bloomed Mimosa blossoms
taking part in;
The Seeing,
The Plotting
The Created
The Done and Finished...
After the Evil had its fill of all the good and plenty
Those that truly became filled with remorse
Cried after wards
so hard I cried that I couldn't breath
I cried a thousand tears for what I had done
In this darkness, this pitch so many souls cried in vain
But somewhere in the deepest of the darkness
We went silent!
We listened together...
It was faint,
We heard the most evil of all evil sounds
The laughing of Satisfied Hunger!
Then after our feeling of total discuss
Not a damn sound could anyone hear...
I gathered myself up and ran like hell
I ran from the darkness, from the evil laugh
I ran further and deeper into,
The endless darkness of the Nevermore....
Into my self made,
PANIC ROOM...


The endless darkness then echo the silence
The silence of Nevermore...
