| Dark Echoes -Josh Sylvia The figure stood still under the pale moon light Echoes of beasts wispered through the cold dead night Fog swept over the land as the air grew thick and dry Grass and vines grown wild, blocking out the sky Dark echoes race through the dead mans head Memories of mistakes done and made, not said Memories of battles won and lost Knowing not of the true price or cost Standing silent, threw his mind's a clatter Contemplating his lost, though nothing will matter If tonight would be his last, who would give a damn Causing more trouble then good, only doing what he can Smoking the day's last cigarette, thinking what she said Wishing he could take it back, but it's there to stay instead Why did she have to make him, so strongly feel Manipulating his emotions, his heart she could steal The man looks down at his hands dripping with swet and blood Her lifeless body lays still, all covered in the mud Once with him in bed, now laying in the cold dead earth It is far too late for this man to seek rebirth Yesterday's unborn, tomorrow's fallen foe Once with great power, now reduced to this low A ten pound ax lays by this cold man's foot The bitch's back, is where it was once put He howls at the moon, crying for a dead man's son Once an innocent child, now Lucifer's fun The weight of the world has crushed his innocence through time Now this dead girls lays punished, suffering for an undone crime The hands of time still ticking, he mustn't delay Soon he would be found, the price he would pay Now all alone, nothing left to live for Should he hack up the body, that laies still on the floor From his coat he reaches in, and pulls out a knife He has now lost the love of his wife The knife he now raises straight to his bare chest He knows that this must be done for the best Death has taken his wife, now it's time for his last breath Seaking only the sweat, of his own fine death He lunges the knife, slowly drawing out blood He now joins his wife, face down in the mud |

| In our lives we all have our dark echoes. The memories that haunt us and keep us awake at night. The wonds that never quite heal all the way, and continues to bleed and throb. Memories of battles won and lost. Memories of mistakes done and made. Echoes that tare and eat away at our souls, as we build ourselves into our own self-inflicted hell. | ||||||||||||||||
