i am a still pendulum.

swaying nor left or right.

watching over you has been an endless ordeal.

and right when i covered my eyes and wounds,

life laughs at me for thinking i would heal.

damned if i do,

and damned if i don't.

cant set the past to ashes

cant set it ablaze

again i try to cover my despair with my long dull lashes

not a single melody could keep me satisfied,

nor a poem, book, play, or a prayer to the lord.

if i don't find peace within my bones

and ease with my demons,

i will stay locked in a maze that i have drawn.
