Through days spent hollow
With quiet words to swallow
This is what I’ve come to learn
As the candles flicker
Relaxes quicker
Slave chained to its burn
The saddest story
Dumbstruck with glory
Yelled at me to yearn
An envious green
Your power unseen
Makes my hatred turn
All seemingly right
Through misleading spite
I lay my day down with the sunset
Dreams pulling my hand
Leading with demand
To focus on greater regret
Here I give you my weight
As acceptable fate
With sighs misting a bet
You haggled and flawed
Still stealthily crawled
Creeping in until memory set

Through days spent hollow
With quiet words to swallow
This is what I’ve come to learn
As the candles flicker
Relaxes quicker
Slave chained to its burn
The saddest story
Dumbstruck with glory
Yelled at me to yearn
An envious green
Your power unseen
Makes my hatred turn
All seemingly right
Through misleading spite
I lay my day down with the sunset
Dreams pulling my hand
Leading with demand
To focus on greater regret
Here I give you my weight
As acceptable fate
With sighs misting a bet
You haggled and flawed
Still stealthily crawled
Creeping in until memory set
