Subliminal madness dragged me deep into the dungeon of torment and despair
A fortress where I couldn’t fly with my imagination
An isolated island of sorrow and heartache
Chained by the moans of my own thoughts
Hence, I started to seek shadows instead of light
I wandered lost in the wilderness and surrounded by absolute silence
I became a captive to the memories and echoes of the past
With the certitude that a wicked fate ruled my existence
All the mirrors around me sought in vain to reveal the mystery within myself
In the gloom of their cryptic tales
For I could not comprehend their bizarre words
Because they were just utterances lost in the infinite void
In that abyss of subliminal madness
The relentless wind of laments was blowing against me
Gelid arrows that pierced through my body
Fragments of anguish that were sharp daggers
Profound wounds were carved on my heart
Too deep for time to mend or forget
Bleeding sorrows staining the hours
Instants marked by silent screams
Grief became a solemn veil that shrouded me
Memories burned like inextinguishable flames
And all that remained were ashes of dreams scattered in the wind
Beneath the moonless dark sky of my endless night
Nothing remained to me
Not even a flake of hope
Not even a fragment of a dream
But only a subliminal madness to relieve my tragedy
In silence and solitude
My life was merely a paroxysm of darkness
A frenzy of obscure nightmares chased me
I could only sigh at the sound of raindrops getting me through
In this desolate maze of endless sadness
Not even a flicker of defiance was burning within me
I couldn’t hear any whisper of solace
I crawled through the mist of my own despair
The shadows that once enticed me now suffocated me
And the silence, once my treasured haven, transformed into a dungeon
Whenever I strived to chase the faintest pleasure
I was left aimless and shattered
I still couldn’t find a realm beyond this dark veil
A world where torments were no longer my torturers
Hence, I was bound to this endless darkness
And my heart was filled with subliminal madness.
