twilight remembers

About my mind are trinkets scattered, seeking all that once mattered.
Racing silently within empty silhouettes, squandered and shattered.
Are there to be lost forever in a world of shadows, fallen asunder?
Remembering a better time, when the silence was shattered with thunder.
Every breath, stolen from a time past, pleads for surrender to sleep.
Another memory, another moment where Angels did weep.
Now a sadness that cuts through to my core becomes my mask,
Dare I pray to find the strength, and finish this cruel task?
Undone the smiles cast unto a heart, now only dust warms it through.
Not to find a thought uncorrupted, shadows warp both false and true.
In this nightmare, will I ever see the light shine once more?
Questions bracing for the answers, erode my very core.
Unique conceptions of mournful phantoms, embraced in fears,
Enticing a dance of death, submerged in swollen tears.
Does the dark soul I possess, show through and find hold?
Encased in autumn's spiral, I brace for the cold.
Seeking shelter in lyrical embrace, alone I stand,
Is there a time when I again can take my own hand?
Gone are the memories, cast to shadow and despair,
No one can hear my heartbeat, do I even care?
