The Gloom
by What Once Was· from Demo 2006
imitations stand as our only model for a solution
the anti-me gazing back through what i once thought was a mirror
monoliths spoke of a distance never felt before
and i honestly believed them, it took a freefall
into myself to prove them wrong
now i've become a ghost
nothing so sad as watching the
ground consume a god
"you know when all is said and done
we'll have nothing to look forward to"
and with this i disappeared
into the horizon
my entrails were scattered like a ripped pinata
when they found my corpse
the child was mad with glee, tossing the prizes all 'round.
i am the tundra
barren and empty
just like i'm destined to be
