Simplified expressions torn in two,
Sad eyes looking back at you,
Cold hands that are not yours,
Tighten around my throat,
A path forged in a lie,
Hidden beneath the blind eye,
Turned not once but twice,
A shame of serendipity dancing in the freshly fallen rain,
A sure hand void of strength,
What once beat now weeps,
A song sung to the children,
But falling on the deaf ears of adulthood,
While I carry myself upon my own shoulders,
Let the loneliness not be mine,
As I stumble down this hill of despair and into the darkness of a better tomorrow…
