Apex Realized

At the edge strike the heart
to the core (I feel it).
Merciless I let slip
dogs of war (and I feel it)

Slowly drown in this cell
I have wrought (I feel it).
Someone else
forgive me
I cannot.

Stone by stone I build day by day,
until such time as I must pay.
One by one the thoughts fade away to nothing.
I am left with this;
the apex realized.

Slowly drown in this cell
I have wrought (I feel it).
Someone else forgive me
I cannot.

Stone by stone I build day by day,
until such time as I must pay.
One by one the thoughts fade away to nothing.
I'm left with this;
the apex realized.
