I need to build
these walls around
myself
Construct
this fortress
from your flesh
and bone
Hold my soul
within this
living stone
Isolated
inside my
bleeding tower
where even
shadows cower
Death's face
in my window
my lover of the
night
The one
which cannot
be escaped
so living
draped
in saffron
velvet
My crypt
I made
among dust
and bones
I lay
upon this
crimson pillow
sanctified
in your blood
This tomb
my soul
erected

To have hidden so far inside myself. To have locked away all emotions and pain. To become just a shadow hiding in the darkness. That is what I have become, a shadow of my former self.

Only in silence the word
Only in dark the light
Only in dying life
Bright the hawk's flight
On the empty sky
