Untitled
the night falls as if slain by the sun, cold and alone are we.
the light for which you sacrifice yourself
flares once, then dies,
swallowed by a velvet ebon nothingness.
all hope must sicken and die.
your heart beats no more.
how could you not understand?
lost souls surround us, crying,
save us from ourselves.
- Slain comes from the old english of slean, which means strike or kill, particularly in a violent way. I chose this word cause I wanted that drama and also to create the irony of the sun, which is supposedly associated with good, murdering the night.
- The tone would be described as despairing, depressed, hopeless, and even raging.
- The mood evoked is sad and sorrowful.
- Binary opposites include the cold night and the darkness contrasting against the light of the sun. Hope and understanding clash with the idea of death.
