DCCCCXI

( Tommy Mondello )

The skies ablaze with hatred

  A billowing horror

I'm helpless

Telephone calls that couldn't be made

  Frozen... timeless ticks... life is fading away

I'm helpless

Ten million thoughts... pure insanity

  Standing there in disbelief

     Unable to reach out... unable to save

I'm helpless

I've just lost my heart... followed by my soul

  Moments ever engrained into all I have left

     A meaningless mass... flesh and bone

I'm helpless

Comes a quiet within confusion

  Consealing my anger... a numbing pain

     Hours pass... a dormant phone

        Scrolling words now forever consume my life

           Recording a history not deserved

I'm helpless

There will never be another tomorrow as long as I can see today

  And today will last my lifetime

     I'm afraid tomorrows sun has been lost

        Eternal darkness calls

I'm helpless
