What was once bliss has turned to vile infestation

O, how the waking moments no longer sparkle

It's as if the days' contact lenses were smuggled into a burlap sack

Lost, forbidden from seeking attachment to it's crystal eyes any longer

Though the thief remains clear as day

With his face of baby-soft and whiskers;

it feels congruent to my own face, yet

The fire is different now

Previously burning with uncomfort

From red to blue, the sunset has descended with a change of color

it being clear to see for all who wish to see

Though for the individuals who pray not to see

It is seen anyway

For the reflections given off by the basking tears of the unliving shall twinkle

but only slightly

And I see myself young again

Nine once more

Throwing the match into the firepit built of tar

Unaware, blinded by flame

Hibernation took place soon after

And clarity whispered to me

"Blissful ignorance is inherited, yet not taught

However it may be untaught by the ones we defeat"
