What Was Forgotten

Salt, tears, blood, water.
All these come together
to create what was forgotten.

In the Sea of Tears,
reigns a supreme being,
so cruel and violent.
It preys on the helpless
that fall to Tears.

This sea surrounds us all;
no one can escape it.
Some are chosen to die.
Others forget their tears
and go on to be free.
For those who are swallowed
by the whirlpool called Sadness
or smothered by the waves of Despair,
I pity you.
For the being I spoke of
will pick at you.
Until your dying breath,
he will mutilate you,
but always keeps you among the living.

His name is ancient.
No mere tongue of man
can manage it.
I call him Death.
I call him Life.
I call him Hopes and Dreams.
He is never there,
but he will never leave you.

Over the Sea of Tears
is the storm Depression.
She is here to make sure
you are never found again!
She throws gusts of wind
to smother you in waves of Despair.
She hits the water
with Anger lightning.

Beware these,
for all are evil.
All of them want you drowned,
lying on the Isle of Death.
This isle is piled
with the bones of ones
who were swallowed by the sea.

These evils,
they do not work alone.
There are others you should beware.
Temptation,
she is such a beautiful creature,
so graceful and sweet,
but a siren none the less.
For if you follow her,
you are sure to meet her mate.
They call him Destruction.
Jealous is he,
and when Temptation brings you home,
he will end you then and there.
For all Temptation is,
is the path to Destruction.
Beware their spawn, Deceit.
He will meet you half way.
He, too, shall help lead you to Destruction.
He is only there to help his mother
and tell you lies of peace and safety.

Malice and Violence,
the twins of Trouble.
They pretend to help you,
and then throw you into Trouble.
Trouble, their father,
is an undertow of death.
He will pull you down and under,
and straight on the Blood Reef.
There you will drown
or be torn to pieces
by the reef's owner.
Blood Reef holds you,
tears you,
and grips you until you drown.

The owner of Blood Reef
is an evil brother of Death.
Son to Depression,
he will eat you up.
Mercilessly,
tearing you limb from limb.
