Betwixt

Screaming in anguish of yesterday’s plight

Looming, a still stalks cobblestone paths

Once a hideous crime of passionate untruth

Now leers the magnificent cold thought

The only way out is justly brave

AND LOSING OUR IDENTITIES WE ALL BECOME ONE

Exhausted memories fall apart in her eyes

Haunting the mind’s halls, nothing to deny

Misunderstanding in the wind blowing by

That misguidance is just an unconscious lie

Brutal truths can cause circuits to fry

AND LOSING OUR IDENTITIES WE ALL BECOME ONE

Leaving the child to the shadows of night

Cringing in fear of unknown’s cloaked wraith

The babe wails sorrow only loneliness can construe

Desolation now proves purchaser of souls caught

Alone we stalk pathways to our graves

AND LOSING OUR IDENTITIES WE ALL BECOME ONE
