Analysis of Metaphor? I hardly know her.
To the night, empty as fullness, of the void that I dream of
I see the blackness that I feel, in the night that I fear,
I feel the terror, that I inflict, on the innocent love within,
I taste the terror, that I so loved, on the eve of the party,
I smell the scent of your dreams, that had been slaughtered, as they escaped from your mouth,
I feel the joy, that I cannot express, at the beginning of a new era,
And yet, in this inky darkness, full of terror and dead dreams
I see the future, that we shall build, in the golden sunlight.
