I have lost something, at some point, And I fear I will never have it back. It pains me to think about the past, For it reminds me of what I lack. I'm not quite sure how to move forward, Or how to fix this condition; It is sad that I have ended up this way, A disturbing and abysmal rendition. With knowledge comes power, Power follows along so close behind. With knowledge also comes loss, Innocence is no longer mine. I fear I have went too far, I fear there is not much left for me. I fear I have locked my heart's door, And let darkness swallow the key. My goodness peeks through sometimes, But it is just smothered by disease. And no matter how hard I try, It's a sickness I cannot appease. I wish that God existed, A merciful, kind deity above, One that didn't just speak But act upon the written love. If that was true, I could find solace, But God does not exist, I am finding another way, Other than religion's devious mist. Or perhaps that is an overstatement, For I see no solution. My morality has bent recently, Undergoing evil dilution. I have lost something, at some point, And I fear I will never have it back. It pains me to think about the past, For it reminds me of what I lack.

An Unsolvable Condition
I have lost something, at some point, And I fear I will never have it back. It pains me to think about the past, For it reminds me of what I lack. I'm not quite sure how to move forward, Or how to fix this condition; It is sad that I have ended up this way, A disturbing and abysmal rendition. With knowledge comes power, Power follows along so close behind. With knowledge also comes loss, Innocence is no longer mine. I fear I have went too far, I fear there is not much left for me. I fear I have locked my heart's door, And let darkness swallow the key. My goodness peeks through sometimes, But it is just smothered by disease. And no matter how hard I try, It's a sickness I cannot appease. I wish that God existed, A merciful, kind deity above, One that didn't just speak But act upon the written love. If that was true, I could find solace, But God does not exist, I am finding another way, Other than religion's devious mist. Or perhaps that is an overstatement, For I see no solution. My morality has bent recently, Undergoing evil dilution. I have lost something, at some point, And I fear I will never have it back. It pains me to think about the past, For it reminds me of what I lack.
