What terrors now await me in these dreams?
What monstrous visions fed on silent fears
Will rend me as I wait within the night
Until the daybreak reinstates my sight?
And who will hear my desperate dying screams?

Asleep, alone and bathed in futile tears
While others merry-make and soon forget
The lessons of the decadent, deceased
At last from dark imaginings released
And laid upon their melancholy biers

Imprisoned in this cell of past regret
Restricted by these bars of future dread
(The revelers above pay little mind
To what is unredeemed and left behind)
As I lay rotting in this oubliette

Sing while you may
-The Prophet Qa'sepel

Your pain is for you alone, As it is, As it was, As it will be forever, Amen
-The Prophet Qa'sepel

Great read--for all it's darkness, it flows very smoothly, and may sweet dreams come to you!

Wonderful use of dark images! You made me feel the isolation. One senses the hole futility throws us into, while the world continues, oblivious.

Thank you all!
I am somewhat overwhelmed by the response this recieved. The first line came to me in a flash and I had to force out the rest. I must say that I don't consider this my best work.
But, thank you all once again!
