Relinquish from Anamnesis by Ascend The Helix

Like a latch crossed

Behind these eyes


Rivaling

Single handedly

Radiance

Of the summer’s sun


The keeper of

All light, wonder,

and refuge

Has gone dark


Windows boarded

The locks fastened

Just


Like a latch crossed

Behind these eyes

Vacant, dark,

and unknowing

My face


Bolted and nailed shut

All entryways secured

Once a home, now a stronghold

Unbeknownst

Left out in the cold


Swallow a bitter tongue

Over the lump in my throat

In time, does the heart rot?

If unused for too long

If all that kept it beating

Has led stagnant


Barren every

Chamber will lie

Just


Like a latch crossed

Behind these eyes

Vacant, dark,

and unknowing

Eyes

Vacant, dark, unknowing

My face


It is clear


Ridden of all

Semblance

Of humanity

What once


Shone bright

Now the end of

All light

Standing in its way

Cold handed undertaker

The guise

Of a former


Life

Somewhere hidden

I cannot find


Somewhere hidden

I cannot find

Memories of a former life


Like a latch crossed

Behind these eyes


Bolted and nailed shut

All entryways secured

Once a home

Now a stronghold

Unbeknownst

Left out in the cold


Will it end

Will it disappear

If there is

No reviving the

Heart of this

Memory

Will you disappear


Like a latch crossed

Behind these eyes

vacant


Will it end

Will it disappear

If there is

No reviving the

Heart of this

Memory

Will you disappear


Like a latch crossed

Behind these eyes

Vacant, dark, and unknowing
