I hope this works

Picture 1

Within this walking dream wakes terror in soul

Soul slips and thinks no more

The strike of steel upon naked flesh

It brings energy only to the beat that drains life away

When life's juices seep slowly through the skin

Picture 2

This crystal, held only by a heart and forced breath

It lasts there, seemingly longer each day

There until its end

The end, the time blackness rules

And steals shape, form, no longer leaving a crystal

Nothing special, nothing new

All the same

Until it is no longer there

And gone

Picture 3

It's all I see

Damned silver linings surround each cloud?

Streaked with gray, sunbeams swallow me.

Dreams dance before eyes, screaming in darkness

Wishing and praying to nothing, for nothing

A black and empty void

Drowning in tides, protected by fragile, shining glass

Waiting for a wave to shatter this case

And pool in to kill me.
