One

Empty walls that lack the sun,
Now I see what I did wrong,
Clarity made itself known,
How I wish to be no more.

I see you in every dream,
I can feel your lifeless fears;
Like a forest of dead trees,
Can’t see any through my tears.

But your kin’s tears are so cold;
Made of crystal, oozing blood,
They’re the saltiest of this world,
They’re coming straight from their soul.

So much youth and wasted time,
Life that ended like a light;
I bear weight on that regard,
I could kill myself for that.

Hurting you, I never meant,
But it’s not always intent
What it takes to burn and taint
Innocence and confidence

Louder! I can hear your voice,
I will never stop that noise
From surprising me the choice
That I made in icy poise.

Your mother, she bore the news,
She didn’t think I hurt you,
She blamed chaos and demure,
But I can remember you.

Bitterness within my heart,
Painful tears, I have no right
To shed for losing your life,
There is mayhem in my mind.

I can never shake this off,
Decisions led this one on,
I pray for rest to your soul;
I will never find my home.
