More along the lines
of my loneliness discord,
I stepped into the crime
of a *****, painful sword.
Too many closing doors,
and sorrow always there,
a memory has flood the moors
of my eyes a-brim with tears.
We have watched the sacred clock,
tick-tocking away delight,
yet never understood the shock
that something was not quite right.
Tomorrow's now never hoped for,
yesterday's a shattered dream,
we now crouch behind a closed, locked door,
and in silence loudly scream.
