Regrets and mistakes riddled In a fading abyss Where services long past rest Are shackles at the soul’s behest Crawling in the ashes of perception False comforts ring as hollow realities Bound, unbreaking, unyielding To withering ideologies In the demagoguery of fears Hearts are burning so bright When their truths are set alight Never to cross the surface in their plight The detriments born of desire Create the fuel to a new kind of fire Seizing the boundaries Consuming rationality In decisions to face Creations belie The beauty and foulness Where reflections Of imperfection Die

Atonement
Regrets and mistakes riddled In a fading abyss Where services long past rest Are shackles at the soul’s behest Crawling in the ashes of perception False comforts ring as hollow realities Bound, unbreaking, unyielding To withering ideologies In the demagoguery of fears Hearts are burning so bright When their truths are set alight Never to cross the surface in their plight The detriments born of desire Create the fuel to a new kind of fire Seizing the boundaries Consuming rationality In decisions to face Creations belie The beauty and foulness Where reflections Of imperfection Die
