ALONE

Life in solitude

There's a place legs stutters to walk

lips quivers and spits out breaking words

when an image of its depth pops in,

a place lost men live to hide

away from the past that hangs on their throat

they walk in shackles, stranded

with a hollowed voice silence overrides

their eyes holds pages of dark memories of

where the moon burns and stars stings,

where the breeze pierces like the head of daggers,

when too much peace brings more fears 

men chants their name like zeus

but they knew themselves as fragments of Hades

their face breaks with haunted smiles

and ride with infinite faces to hide their deed

men named hero, but they knew they're psycho

men named healers, but with gouge left unhealed

they break inside day in and day out

hoping the end feels the pains in their hollowed voices

they say "let's take more of a walk

maybe the end may come for us.
