Beyond The Vale

Could never stand to brace the surface
And be a part of this amorphous world
I retain no warmth and there is no love
Where I've turned within, to disavow my purpose

Void of love and light, I let die
And all I cast out from the shell
For the choices I'd made, resonate
And now I am truly alone in hell

There is nothing here, but pain and fear
As panic grips me in the dark
I drag myself through the ever dense
But it always leads the same way back

I can't escape and the desire to, consumes me
The further I wander, the more hopeless it seems
As there's no discernable edge or boundary
Voices I hear and blind I seek but cannot reach
Beyond the vale for them to find me

I can't quite remember my life on earth
Or why it is I'm here to suffer
Time means nothing, but I feel it in every breath
Along with the ineffable need to see beyond myself
And this realm, the shadows cast
Reflections of one without the other
