2Suffocating Darkness
The sun rises and I'm standing for one more day
Still wondering if this is how it was meant to be
Our days of hope, of laugher, all faded away.
Promises forgotten, only ashes remain today
And if you looked at me now, who would you see?
The Fourteenth Noah or the one I used to be?
I remember what I could see in your eyes
The cold, the hate and anger you tried to hide
All the fear of the blood I carry in me
The blood of the Noah I could turn out to be
So I left, knowing there would be no turning back
Now I'm following this path on my own
Bearing broken memories that pierce my mind
Searching for a truth buried so deep within
No matter what, I have to go on even if alone
Seen only as a monster by everyone
Knowing the days of love and joy are gone
Falling in the dark, trying to hold on the light
Day by day slowly I'm devoured from inside
Haunted by what I could see in your eyes
I try to stand, I try to carry on
But each day I'm deeper in the dark
I'm suffocating in the dark
Mana, you taught me to always keep going
But I wonder for how longer my legs can bear
With this pain that only keeps growing
The late hours find me whispering a prayer
In the hopes that someone, somewhere will hear
One arm for akumas, other for humans
Only wanted to save souls from the Noah Clan
Never imagined something like this would come
Today I ask if someone would try to save me
For wanting to protect, loneliness was the outcome
So tired of walking, of fighting this war
I don't believe my soul can be saved anymore
Seen only as a monster by everyone
Knowing the days of love and joy are gone
Falling in the dark, trying to hold on the light
Day by day slowly I'm devoured from inside
Haunted by what I could see in your eyes
I try to stand, I try to carry on
But each day I'm deeper in the dark
Sinking each day in the dirt, disgusting inside
Called "enemy" by my home, a creature to be despised
Perhaps my only salvation lies in death
If it means peace then I won't resist
And until the end I'll remain an exorcist
Still, what I want to hope for is a new dawn
No matter if all dreams are to be broken
No matter all the words that went unspoken
For the dawn we dreamt together will come
Our pain will fade and our tears will be gone
Until then I will wait and keep standing
I will keep moving on, the truth I'll find
Even in face of sorrow or slaughter
Until my death, I remain Allen Walker
Another pitiful attempt at a poem. To be fair, I kinda liked this one (more or less). As always criticism is very much welcome, as well as any advice that could make it better. Thanks people!
