The Origins of Ruin

The Origins of Ruin - Redemption

Written by：Nicolas van Dyk

Hand on heart

Head in

Hands

The light is fading now

It cannot

Pierce the darkness

Nothing left

To build

Upon

Except my mounting fear

That none of this was worth it

Hand on pen

Pen to

Page

Focus though I may

My words have failed me

Empti

Ness

Consuming

Me

The shadows of my broken hope

Play in the dying light

Tears in eyes

Eyes wide open

Open open

Staring at the glass

The face I see knows everything

Words I've written

Letters never sent

Only signposts marking out the origins of ruin
