Limbo For The Tortured (souls)

Nothing

Nothing but the Black Amnesia

A panoramic view of formlessness (wastes)

My eyes are not eyes

Pools of the void, though out of the void

Shadows form

Shadow-beings pour and spill forth

Like a nightmare - cataleptic terror ineffable



In fear they shuffle slowly and sadly about me

Wordlessly they speak of great loss

Disembodied hearts, the lost souls

They have lost their battles -

I see scars and surrenderings



Hope was their last sword - now broken and blunted

Hope was their only shield - now shattered, useless

This

This is the place of fear, heavy and endless

A place of mourning, sorrow and regret

And here

In this limbo

The horizon of defeat stretches forever.
