Rain-check Reception

Blind for one second, prolonging absent sense
Retrieval of the focus, this journey unfold
Tread through fields all laden with candles
When will the sun shine, I feel only cold

Across the blankets of leaf fallen stitch
Behind, a cat trails as shadow, my past
Ahead an old palace, decaying with time
Reaching this rest spot, intensity cast

Entered the willow yard, searching for life
Appearing as lonely, exploring with freedom
Emptiness prevails, a sunken remembrance
Longing for answers entwined in this kingdom

Broken glass rooms are undoing my scars
I'm covered with blood I shed long ago
Scared of my presence inside any longer
I reach for the doorknob but I am too slow

Demons appear from this trickery shelter
The walls are all spitting with bastard reception
I only see blindly in the fun house of horrors
My black cat has died, destroyed through deception

Blink for one second, clearing these eyes
Teardrops are smeared as I return to myself
This imagery hell still wafts through my mind
A history near, shown through watery wealth
