we shall not be
afraid to walk
among the
battle cry of
the stars
to end this purgatory
but
to walk
towards the edge of glory
and
where
it is the path
that
we choose

Listen,
It's faint, vivid and achingly beautiful
The way You breathe
Heart rates quicken, drumming persistently
While we look into our eyes
And others see poison, darkness from
The outside, but inside
We are lost in ourselves
Floating away
In the solace of our own prison
Our chains relentless and yet welcoming
We are serene and carefree.

Those dark, captivating words
That hide behind Your lips
I can sense your frightening urgency,
And those bold words spill out,
A perfect, tempting line
With which only you can
Stir up a storm deep within me,
Just like the way our dangerous memories
Swim in my soul.
