We are creatures of perpetual pain
And pain us,He will
For all the hearts bound to you
To me,In loitering uncertainities of
Fleeting human affection
Will at once keep pulling the strings
And like puppets in hands of
A meek infant of a few months
We are hurled,every which way in
Answer to our conviction.
Mirthlessly,the world laughs,accuses
Us of love,the sin every sinner walks
The evil that cuts evil,should it stay.
And we keep handing away
Our strings to people with debts to pay
Their nuisance lures us to fix the
World with congenial evening walks
Their eyes are ever so sacred,for when
Their mouth runs and runs unholy,
Look in their eyes and all your strings
Come taut in unison to haul the weight
Of lies comforted in muted acceptance.
From far away enough,the streets that led
You looked like shimmering little
Shards of ice,blinding.
Unearthly,so much so that you'd walk
In bare feet and love veiled.
Your soles run red and blue,numb and
Somehow throbbing,
Like the love you once knew.
Keep on walking,these strings
Will keep thinning.
