Your darkness felt malignant each day
Raining harsh needles with grey,
Into souls once afraid.
I then drowned in manmade pain
Sought a breath of beauty still in me,
But kept your bitter memory
And choked again.
When yearned music would fade,
I’d dust the sky, forgive no delay
Prove not, in vain, to shut away
I promise on the rampaged innocence you played
To no longer hear your sick symphony
Refuse to stay and see the music-swelled greed
And become lost again.
Shady blossoms were falling in a new way,
Since I allow past gibes decay.
The lost have been saved, having strayed
From the bind of eternal pity inane.
Disregard the world amid apathy,
Souls once afraid now free,
And found again.
