Black Hearts: Songs of the Forgotten

the lacerations of what shaped me

Ivory is painted gray in this black night

Silence, oh my love, you have come again

A choked cry escapes my lips, yet too quiet

Never to reach the ears of

God Himself

Pride, my pride, why do you weep and trudge afar?

Alone, I am once again in this darkness

The pools of my red tears stain the innocent white sheets

Alone, I am once again in this darkness and the

Words of the Man and Woman ring in my ears

Another night comes when I stay silent and let those words cut

Deeper and deeper that time can never heal

Love, what a word worth a good laugh

A worthless feeling, it is to me after a century of believing

Nonexistent, now I know it is, did

God deceive all of us?

Sorry is what the Man and Woman want from me

Apologies roll themselves from my tongue through gritted teeth

Proud, I am not, of what I have done

All I can do is weep and as the clock strikes

Twelve, nightmares plague my already painful slumber

Nothing can save me if the Man and Woman feed me

All their chastising hate

Pretty night, it is

Almost too serene

Rarely are my nights as peaceful as this

Amidst the fire in this supposed sanctuary

Man, he who is the knight to protect me

An executioner now waiting for my sentence

Woman, she who is the blue sky to solace me

A typhoon now wanting to drown me

Love, what a word worth a good laugh

A gift I can never have from them

A spark of light was there when they held me

Now they can't bear to lay a finger on me

God must despise me as well

How did it come to this? What have

I done wrong?

Name one thing I have done to wound you

And an eternity of words born from hate spew from your lips

Name one thing I have done to heal you

And you choose to stay silent

Kindled is my desire to stay alone in this night, yet

I choose to see the smiling Sun after I sleep

To appease the Man and Woman at least

Keep the kisses of salutation from them for it is the

Only little love rewarded to me
