Every moment
a lifetime away
sweet melody
wont you take me today
The thought of many, sticks to me
inline with the storms sway
Epiphany!
I see through the devils eye
The moonlights glaze rocks me to sleep
I dare to doze off
In hopes that dreaming can give me an explanation
Provided there is a shield for those who need
Where is this shield so true of worth?
A shield so clear it shines like a penny
Worth a penny
And just a useless wherever you take it
Look close to see the cracks
It crumbles and erodes just like any
Any in fact
But this one accused to be false
“Trade it in!” you say
As if it’s a negotiation
Bargain with me
How much for a new direction?
It’s been so long since I felt safe
Could be a nice change
Something to catch the rocks being thrown
Daggers in the back twist nicely with age
Reminds me that the pain is real
Stiff and stubborn
You see the truth
The pity I have for those who don’t see
Deep and murky is the pain, you are wounded now and have been for a while
Forbidden Juice or Powerful Pill?
Something easy and quick to numb my brain
I can’t see past the shadows, nor light in the distance
