Reprieve

Folder: 
Crimson

She cries out for release
Screaming for reprieve
Just a chance
One simple chance to be free


Crying in the darkness
Screaming to the night
Chasing remnants of the madness
That plagues her fragile mind


She cries for some resemblance
Of life lived with no pain
She reaches for forgiveness
To hold onto what remains


She cries out for release
Screaming for reprieve


The sickness comes in waves
Shudders, sudden, strained
She shivers in the heat
And sweats the memories
A sadness overcoming
Destroying everything
A weakness she's becoming
Too weak to release


She cries out in the darkness
Screaming for release
Running from the madness
Screaming for reprieve
