Visions from Apathy: Reborn by Apathy

I see a vision distorted
A figure contorted
Beyond comprehension
I gaze into his eyes
To see that they had died
I looked away from the water
I hear a cryptic plea
Chorus of twisted screams
Begging for forgiveness
I press against my ears
No silence would appear
Until I closed my lips at last

Sensory
Possessed I cannot see
Blinded by the visions
I wander aimlessly
Sanctuary
Corrupted by the weak
The echoes of the past
They haunt eternally

I see a million phantoms
Minions in tandem
Mock my sorrow and torment
I hear their degradation
A thundering resonation
As I'm swallowed by the torrent

Sanctity
Possessed by demon seed
Lost among the visions
I wander endlessly
Solitary
A prisoner of my dreams
The remnants of the past
Concealed internally

I placed my hand against the door
But it would not yield
A voice echoed through the walls
"These halls are sealed forever"

I pled for one more chance
A pledge to live without regret
In response it called in jest
"What has passed is in the past"

I walked away in self reflection
Recognition of my vanity
In agony I wept
And swept away the silence

I sat down by the fountain
Peering over the edge
I gazed into the water
And saw my eyes were dead
