Now is the Sickness

Why does numbness extend into my innermost being?
Penetrating this wall I have spent years behind
Spreading over the entirety of a personna
Blackened by malcontent, but still somehow alive.
Somewhere, buried alive beneath the surface
Of a life wasted and without a purpose
Lies a broken mind, a broken spirit
Harsh abrasions and scars--reminders of darkness.
Why can't I break free of this sweet inner death?
Retreat from these long haunting demons of old?
Memories remain to highlight fearful past
I long for the light, safe refuge from now.
Now is the sickness, the plague from the past.
The future--tomorrow--in terror we advance.
The eagle of freedom shot down in revenge.
Retreat into blackness, raise the white flag.
You drink the tears of the unfortunate from a goblet made of gold.
Pumping the very last drop of blood out of me.
My life evaporates as you drink.
The world is consumed by never ending cold.
And slowly I become a hollow shell.
