Requiem to Sanity
by BelladonnaTea


a dark mass of images parade pass the darkest of trees
the mournful scream of the wind mingling with the faint cries
emitting from the casket
the coffin, so sleek against the sudden rain
glimmering with an ethereal glow
the wood scraping as the figure inside fights and claws
its lost cause
the tombstones silhouette nothing but ghosts
growing clearer and clearer as the parade marches on
a gaping hole, like the vortex to true darkness
staring at them
gazing at them
with a dead stare
lowering the coffin slowly
scraping against the earthen walls
ashes to ashes
dust to mud
gently thumping against the bottom
silent screams echoing within the well built wood
the last sound it hears is its scream
mingled with the soft drops of dirt
that fell upon the coffin
the glow fading into a glazed shine
as it finally was covered
as the sanity
slowly
and steadily
withered away
drowning in its own tears
the screams
slowly fading away
