here we stand again

at the edge again

staring into

the last abyss

the darkened sky

therein shines no stars

lost in the black

of endless night

what must we give

once more of our selves

to bring about

another break of dawn

too much to bear

tally on my soul

turning away

refuse the call

night stretches on

cold overtakes

colour fades away

the canvas breaks

brotherhood is lost

forever forgotten

era of disdain

and broken hearts

memory of hope

the final lie

shattered

by selfishness

i sit here alone

on the edge again

the blackness reaches out

beckons me back home
