What Bleeds The Tourniquet

Watching the blind soul wander
This barren wasteland of forgotten
Dreams,
The mirrors in the desolate trees
Reveal that what he cannot see:
The firmament bathed in crimson,
The earth swathed in ash.

With eyes stapled shut, and
A heart sewn tight, the Blind One
Continues his aimless journey,
Ever forgetting his life-wish.

When memories are but dust
Scattered to the four winds,
The essence but sand
In the hands of the Grim--
The Blind One shall be the guide
As he wanders this barren wasteland
Of forgotten dreams.
