The Essence

In the back of my head
There laid the truth
Hidden for too long to forget
Or its nature to accept

I tried to wound and maim it
To mark the wickedness
Then tried to kill and bury it
To escape the essence

So I awoke
Far too late to remember
Or to rebuild
To take shelter

In the ashes
Of the ruins
All has burned to cinders
