wounded veil

mercy

you're rising now

tempting the lines

of personal decadence

uneducated

with numbers

just feeling

and wonders

unearthed and exhumed

by treacherous admittance

four years of commitment

composed of sinful self sacrifice

caused us unrest

left us unchanged

corrupted and pleading

for lampshades and cradles

nesting in suffered sheets

why are you alone?

beginnings break free

when you battle the best part

mercy

you're alive yet unwell

in your dreams for fair weather
