The Testament

Here I am today fading into the fathomless darkness that surrounds me like a veil upon a mystic woman in a far off land... 

Nothing is in motion; there is peace all around.. Yet in this silence a storm rages inside me, with whom I have yet to come to terms with.. It's a fire that's burning me inside out and is spreading inch by inch within me, killing me bit by bit... 

Shadows lurk around me, yet when I turn to look, they vanish into the abyss with a slight twitch in their step to show their agitation... 
A hundred voices whisper their discontentment, but I do not hear them call...

Fear grips me, clouds my judgement; I stumble; I fall...
My panic knows no bounds... I seem to go on a path unfamiliar and untouched... 

I am waiting...
The whisper of her voice, a sliver of light; the tip-toe of her feet... Any familiar senses coming back to me to heal my wounded visage of disdain... I am impatient.. But I have no choice at all... But to accept this as my destiny...

I continue to wait, till I rust and fade away...
