Barren

Pain beyond pain.

My Janus
hear my cry

Pain can't
be mine alone

I can't alone
feel this stab

I can't be
outside the stream

Reach
My Janus
your hand

Reach!
My hand extended
fingers clawed

Beg
I of you
on bended
painful
knee

Why is the sky
clear
Why do the birds
mock me
Why do my tears
fall on barren
soil

O Holy Night
take my soul
for of this earth
my days seem short
and my nights
too long
