The Architect -

How long have I been here?

Not long enough by my account

Each hour feels like eternity

Staring blankly at this crumbling wall

Voices resound;

the architect speaks

Take my hand;

set your mind adrift

Snapping back to the cold, hard reality

Maniacal laughter echoing from his lips

Pins and needles;

dancing on glass

His fragile psyche is mine to exploit

I wonder how long this can go on

behavioral abnormality

I wonder if they’ll ever believe me

This atrocity is his to share

The dark matter within my bones

Has become his home;

his calcified temple

Let the sky fall, let it all burn away

But what will become of my sanity?

Fret not as I will restore your life

And all that I have taken from you

Grasping at straws;

the architect speaks

There is not much more that I can do

This is all my fault

Never content with the life I was given

Now I’m here with this abomination

Growing, spreading

Thriving, maturing

The architect now has all he needs

You are confused, aphotic child

This is what you wanted to be

A vessel for the second coming

I never wanted to hurt my family

It was vital to remove all constraints

Et umbra mortis Et Lucifer justitae Shall provide you with the warmth you crave

He cowers, whimpers

Now in the corner,

Pathetic creature

Your importance is nil

When the time comes I shall feast upon your flesh

Leaving your carcass as the framework

For my return

Let the sky fall, let it all burn away

But what will become of my sanity?

Fret not as I will restore your life

And all that I have taken from you

Grasping at straws;

the architect speaks

There is not much more that I can do

There is not much more I can do

There is nothing I can do

Auditory hallucinations

Carefully monitored palpitations

Soft iridescence;

casting shadows

casting shadows

There is not much more I can do

There is nothing left to prove
