Facing Light

  • Dedicated to My annoying idiotic and crazy friends: Za and Khodu. ;)
                                    

Morality seeps away as blackness continues

Sustenance of purity dulls as the stench spreads

Tears of happiness turn to tears of grief

As the ability to raise my hands can claim me no longer

Eyes that were once so bright, gaze with knowledge of the unforgettable

Where joy once reigned echo follows after

Greed, evil and bitterness once so foreign

Embrace me with their loving touch

Vile, corrupt and foul are all that I know now

And I am once again lost between my worlds

Hope is out of my reach and I cannot claim innocence any longer

Ripped away from my sustenance due to my desires

Mouth upturned can remain no longer

Words once beautiful can no longer be seen

Knowledge of beauty has been replaced with wrong

Will I ever face the light again?
