Black Diamond

1. I ran and ran... wondering when I would stand still
Ran and ran... simply for the thrill
I used to ask why, and for what?
Then I had abruptly slowed and stayed put

2. What had slowed my pace of intense heat?
What had halted me before this cold sheet?
This wall of ice had grown in such a way
All around it forbade me to run astray

3. Encircled within this black arctic
Imprisoned, the cold walls grew thick
It enveloped the symbol of my fire
This symbiote had frozen my desire

4. My.. pulse... slowing... deeper... deep
My remaining... spark... falling.. asleep
Cold... barren... Cocooned in sorrow
No more running... no time left to borrow

5. My demons had caught up to me
For so long I ran hoping I wouldn't see
To behold the content of my heart
There was no end, only a difficult start

6. I chose to ignore and to run
I ran into the very threads I spun
You reap what you sew
You ignore what you already know

7. Denial brings you a frozen heart
A dilemma almost impossible to thwart
There you lie immobilized throughout
Alone to contemplate of your doubt

8. The black iced heart so dark, yet clear
Your home of demise as you wither here
Alas... what is this crack you see?
Perhaps it is the truth that shall set you free...
