Lifeless, Deathless

You, alone, hear my words To others, I remain unknown You'll give yourself to me Yourself to me In time Present, all-encompassing Your flesh and bone succumb Lifeless, deathless Your mind, shadow folded Shadow folded Lifeless, deathless Your flesh and bone succumb Your mind, shadow folded Shadow folded Lifeless Death Inner thoughts, subject to control Wants, needs, dissipating Not man nor god Reverie or parasite A shapeless shape My will, a tongue's caress Language beyond words My will, your ultimate truth Your powerlessness, eternal The light inside you will fade in time In time As you succumb Revealing a world of fulfillment and purpose Enslavement Enslavement A living shadow Living shadow To others, I remain unknown Inside you, I remain forever
