There is a child, asleep in the dark,
Flick’ring in the shadows, a lonesome spark
Now a crooked mirror, a shattered smile,
Those who had loved you, lost in denial
Frozen, numb, in your vessel you lay;
Weep for yourself, the life thrown away
Not by turbid waters, you are rocked
By the guilt deep in your heart lays locked
Cracks in the night, the cold winds blow
Now your throat’s torn, your secrets slowed
Caught in the lies; threads string from your eyes,
Sticky legs prick at the edge of your mind
Can you go on? You don’t know how;
What have you done, what will you do now?
Fade away to nothingness…
Obscurity rising, and sleep a caress;
There is a child, asleep in the dark,
Flick’ring in the shadows, a lonesome spark
A figure slips into the gloom
Dark wings unfurled at the edge of the room…
