Ascendancy Poem by XOR 999

my thoughts that bleed
failing to connect these dots
dwelling on this need
life fires a few more shots

self-control is lost
as morbid desires return
my fate has a cost
for my soul shall burn

walking on this way
entrenched by misfortune
forging the dying day
deceptive are my wounds

drifting time slays
all attempts of redemption
wisdom wickedly plays
this stalemate of my creation

all lies juxtaposed
all theories rendered black
the key to life exposed
admission to all I lack

the forlorn red skies
covered by clouds of wait
drenched by this rain
i feel everything so late
