Light Reveals Our Wounds

Dear journal, I write this as our time grows short
We are once again nearing the edge
You can tell by the way the glow is closing in
What started as a black pillar now fills the horizon
We can see far from here
But there is not much to do to prevent the inevitable
It's like we were dirt between two cogs
A meaningless speck in front of an unstoppable force

It's like the glue holding our days together
Now had gone, vanished into the air
We had to leave all hope behind
Some spent their last days staring at the sky

Our calm didn't last
They told me it never does
It's getting dark again
Hear the screams as the alarm goes off
To whoever finds these words
I just wanted to say
Some days were good
It was never meant to end this way

Murmurs in the shadows
Ominous schemes for the sole purpose of power
A long line of random occurrences
That slowly took the shape of a plan
I raise my glass to those
Who knew and still
Took against
The coming storm

This is for you
This is for you
Who had the strength
To march against the coming storm

Our calm didn't last
They told me it never does
It's getting dark again
Hear the screams as the alarm goes off
To whoever finds these words
I just wanted to say
Some days were good
It was never meant to end this way
