Sleep to die

Welcome to the forgotten kingdom
here the keys do not exist
guarding the periphery, misunderstood
stands a lonely soldier
obsession is his poison
consumed by loss, he searches in vain
for the invisible bond, the cure
he was made to believe in
time a sadist healer,the poor man aged,
Lost his silk and the bite
so alone in his pursuit,
nothingness greets him at every corner
nature failed him so did the humans
guilt free, he bled silver
purpose? love? awareness? lies? truth?
in the jumbled up world of madness
he forced his eyes to black every night
giving up and hoping in the same flight
done are his days to dwell
the dark woods provide him a safe shell
he goes to sleep only to die within
no keys, no locks, no gates
he rests with his unknown sins.
