The Banner - Sunset

how you stand so proud towering over me?
your shadow freezes all as far as I can see
the game you wove as torture, always mocking me
my once deepest fear, taking all leaving me

the more I live to learn, the less I know at all
inching towards the fate you've desired all along
nothing brings me closure, silence or relief
I only know confusion, discontent, my misery

time and time again denied a moment's peace of mind
a single second's silence of my thoughts: a treasure you decline
sunset

my waking walking hours spent in prison infinite
undefinable affliction spreads through all that lies within

sunset – dragging me towards emptiness
sunset – on I march without regret
sunset – pulling me towards emptiness
sunset – further I fall without regret

call me home
