The bitterly sweet seclusion Sit the soul free of the jabbering drones of those corners of such mess The mind's noise may flow outside the quiet enclosure of these walls Rejuvenate the self as no intruders may interrupt The beating of the heart conducts the ticking into the night Yet, until the harmless flow drifts unwillingly off its course into that realm of overwhelming angst Suddenly the state of one witched the dark to light its path of which aimlessly walked alone But the heart bursts with the pressuring passion to sync such a setting with that of a curious walker-by Gloomily no steps heard from the intimidating outside All that echoes is the fading notes of yesterday's piano Oh that reminiscent tune The plucking harp of a shining, graced spirit now an irrelevant concocted sound falling so suddenly short of a masterpiece That song that enslaves the head as if calling for an encore, before the conductor even raises his baton So the art of the writer's hand is clenched still by the frigid hold of the past and guiding the pen's strokes through the only script it believes The same story pathetically scribbled every night in ridiculous hopes of a greater ending
