Perdidi
Mirrored like craving of coming dawn
Outstretched arms of warmth and want
Quickly returns, this pain begone!
A casuistic caress underlined with gaunt.
While thy morals endlessly slumber
For my vice it takes its toll
The days of lavish have their number
Loved ones lament on my wandering soul
Though my light remains a flicker
Pulled deep down in endless deep
A split mind takes to bicker
Nevermore will these voices sleep
Stranded to reflect this cruel manifestation
The light be gone to this dark creation
