The treasures I seek, the landscapes I roam
Seasons have passed as a heart turned to stone
Back in the day with no place to call home
Sins were committed, and none to atone
Mind but a playground for notions bizarre
Eyes painted crimson, the sky full of scars
Over the doldrums of oceans so far
Sails the salvation on blood of the stars
Dear friends, misfortune befell on my soul
Rekindled flames of a nightmare so cold
Tragedy followed, guilt swallowed me whole
Innocence lost to the crimes yet untold
Words but a façade that blots out the sun
Drowning the sorrow, a bottle of ***
Blinded by light, where to flee, where to run
Dance with the death to the beat of a drum
Memories but shards in this great disarray
Face of betrayal unseen till this day
Bitter and sombre, so hollow, so grey
Sweeter than chocolate those roses of May
Thus, I am undone, but please, heed my call
Spare me your pity, I accept my fault
Fate I have chosen was bound to my fall
Stoic and narrow, my thoughts were enthralled
None shall be tracing the footsteps of mine
Follow the sound of the heavenly chime
Choose your own path at the end of the line
Jump off the rails 'fore I finish this rhyme
