River of hate

Render me unconscious

Stop my vital functions

Cry out and hit me with a brick of lies

Hope is no relief

When you have no heart to keep

There is no love

When you’re caught in the waves

Of the raging river of hate

Love is but a gust of wind

That appears over the river

Alive for a bright moment

Then dragged down

Violently drowned

Lost with the first wave

Forgotten by the other

All that’s left is

A pale memory of a bright moment

A dream that an old man had

Before the morning he never woke up

There is no hope

When the game is over

You can’t re-throw the dice

You can’t reset the game

It’s over

You lose

 

Immolation

Dawn was breaking

A vulture screeched

And as the echo reached my ears

The sun revealed its face

And illuminated the remains

Of a world that was beautiful

Just the day before

This morning came

I stared at the vast planes

Now covered with ash and flames

I glanced at the vultures that remained

Now circling the ruins

Of a city that existed just yesterday

Destruction we poured on ourselves

Hating the image

The mirror claimed to be true

We brought down the night

To consume the last spark of light

That dwelled in the depths

Of the corrupted human heart

We succeeded…

I stare at the vast planes

That used to be called

The human realms

I stand up and smile

This world is now mine

 

Die, my friend

I’m not sure when it began

But you, my friend

The one I used to love

I began to hate

I don’t know

Which thought turned my heart around

And made me look at you this way

Perhaps I felt betrayed

When I realized who you were

A person nothing like

The people I call friends

I tried to be a good friend

And I hope I succeeded

But something inside me broke

And made me care no longer

The thought of you

That used to draw a smile to my face

Was replaced with an angry gaze

Love drifts to rage

So I begin to hate you, my friend

For whatever you may have done

Even if there was nothing

I forgive you not

My heart has a place for you no more

And I know this may sound cruel

But I don’t care anymore

This friendship is over

 

Redemption denied

What have I become

The beast within prevailed

And turned me into this

This horrible shape

What have I done

All my friends are gone

There’s blood on my hands

And I know where it came from

Horrified

I stand completely petrified

This cannot be true

I would never do this to them

My mind is lying

Make this nightmare end

I’m screaming

I did not kill my friends

Destroyed

I fall to the ground

I twist and shake

Whilst wishing for death

Let it take me

As I toke them

Let it break my soul

As I broke their bones

Shatter me

I beg you, just kill me

End this nightmare swiftly
