Untitled Shakespearean Sonnet

Folder: 
Sonnets

Torment ebbing through my spirit, broken

It wasn't as bad as when I first woke

Steady confusion my only token

"When will I see the light?", my dry voice broke

Is there another way out of disgrace?

My face contorts inconceivable pain

Realizing I can not escape this place

Hoping my voyage will not be in vain

Remote flares shimmer within my vision

Too far away for me to apprehend

My body aches in instant derision

Vanished with day, madness slowly portends

My purity lost in earth's vile essence

Amaranthine life finds evanescence
