A presence of danger
Menacing, feeling unstoppable
Another unhappiness
Your voice never leaves
Wild and violent
The obsession feels right
Bested by conspiracy
Righteousness suffers
Outnumbered by the killing
Pride is on a wheel
While ego climbs a ladder
I'm drawn to your importance
A soul worth saving
Always lost in translation
Pages turning, endless meanings
With jealousy, unfairness, submitting
Flashbacks, no longer blank
Erased with mercy, pardoned
Into the cellar, gazed in memories
Under your eyes, a look fading
The past is everywhere
All the reminders, all the schemes
Taking its toll, weighing us down
Remorse and pity, these old friends
Thoughtless, emotionless, broken.
Upon a face, this stare, forever gone.
