It's taking its tool...
Why does it have to be me?
I seem to be in an ennui,
Getting caught and trapped
...
In the depths of your heart,
A hero's spark,
A light that blazes through the darkest, Shadowed arc.
...
Amid the fabric of time,
Woven with threads unseen,
Patterns upon patterns,

The Vengeance Of Sylvia's Breath
Amidst the depths of sorrow,
I once,
Did dwell,
Sylvia's name,
A whispered,
Mournful spell!
But now I rise,
--A spirit,
Unconfined,
For I've returned,
With purpose,
In my mind,
A man,
The author,
Of my cruel demise,
Took my life,
Extinguished,
Hopeful skies.
But in the realm beyond,
I found,
My strength,
To avenge my death,
I'll go,
To any length.
I'll haunt,
His conscience, like
-- A ghostly breath!
An unrelenting force,
The sting,
Of death,
I'll be a hunger,
In his soul,
Like air,
Consume his guilt,
His torment,
His despair.
I am,
The echo, of
A silenced cry,
In vengeance,
I am bound,
And never die!
Like air,
I'll be relentless,
Everywhere,
Sylvia's spirit,
A force,
Beyond compare!
