Is It Now Too Late?

Waking to an overcast day
clouds block my view
damp mist as dense as clay
dead lawn splashed with dew

dreams, once a heartbeat away
have dissolved in despair
nightmares now haunt my way
just one last prayer...

will the sun rise again
on my landscape?
will someone tell me when
i can escape?

this lost place where i'm kept
is now too much to bear
i wandered too far as i wept
now these chains i wear

The warm sun won't rise here
Nights are so cold
Life and smiles disappear
so sorrow can unfold

laughs and happiness decay
as i sadly travel
through this spiral of death's array
too tangled to unravel

silence, here, seems so loud
my ears burning deaf
no noise penetrates my shroud
only my pained breath

traces of last hope evaporate
i cling to my fear
thoughts no longer seperate
huddled in a tear

so is this place my destiny?
is this now my fate?
will days stretch to eternity?
Is it now too late?
