Barrier

A room where the walls

Are growing taller

Every second


The dull grey brick

A forceful barrier

From anticipation


Hulking shadows whispering

Their mangled thoughts

Into silence


Darkness engulfing the world

Within its ancient arms

Muttering, muttering


The flashing lights of life

A blinking mockery

Of torment


Distant figures helplessly

Crumbling into

Hot embers


Memories of a past life

Flickering, fading into

Lost ashes


The dull grey brick

A forceful barrier

From optimism


A room where nobody

Stops to hear

Your screams
