speed type your heart out

don't let the world stop you

there is nothing else out there for them to find.

keep moving forward,

across the shambled,

horrid world of the seasons' memories.

there is no moonlight to live by

no noise to colour their echoing screams

pathways will strip bark off the trees you nurtured

leaving their shivering tears far, far, away.

too bad they must turn to the ones they destroyed

and let themselves be snapped and scratched every step of the way

every footstep hints for violence,

every heartbeat the whispers of fear.

do not be tempted

or the world will simply be halted.

do not believe their smiles

as humanoid senses always believe what they are told to.

-

Fin.
