Path To The GraveA Poem by D RuppertWith my mind growing frantic, My body cold and clammy to the touch Left in a catatonic state, Entombed inside a pool of darkness Death's hand taunting me, Traveling the long dark lonely road A field of nothingness, Carving a path to the grave My soul being engulfed, By a raging sea of emptiness Overcome with euphoria, Toxic poison flowing through my veins Mental incapacitation, I'm neither alive or dead Sense of embodiment, Total isolation from the world Trapped behind a wall of lies, All hope is lost, a prisoner chained to my past Aspirations eclipsed by shades of sorrow, My whole world doused with gasoline, set on fire Left fumbling through ashes of yesterdays dreams, Wandering corridors flooded with chaos Substances I've ingested, Blinding me to the truth of who I was Reflection in the mirror, Empty shell waiting in the shadows Rescued from this hell I'm in, From the gutter of broken dreams Before the lights fade to black, The angel of death comes my way Air begins to grow thin, Falling lifeless to the ground Crossing the River Styx, Passage into the underworld © 2015 D Ruppert |
