He walks among us in disguise
Whispering to both wild and wise
We don't even realize
We've given ear to heAs we do not yet recognize
Him who gently touches inside
Our mind with soft blue
Tones of melancholyPassions that once made us whole
He slipped into our hearts and stole
Leaving our soul
Aching from the hole he leaves behindGentle and yet heavy hands
The likes hard to understand
Tug at threads beginning
To Unravel and unwindPaths we walked now slowly Crumble
Our once content feet now stumble
Questioning why we
Feel so broken and unsatisfiedWhere we were and where we are
Seem so very far apart
How did we slip onto
This other side?
