Staring in the light of day
The sunlight ravishing the mind with pain
Numb sensations filter through the soul
The agony felt loses sight of the goal
When out of the light a darkness comes
Like rain laden clouds to blot out the sun
Cold downpour of dreary rain
Falls down on the hollow remains
Cleansing to the soul and water the soil
My body lying naked in my hole I toil
With empty words I cry out from my grave
Seeking to undo all the pain I have made
Angelic sounds filter to my ears
Everpresent but never near
The spectres of love and desire
Tantalizing as they sear my soul with fire
Covet thy neighbor and drown in sin
For sweet whispered bliss that may never have been
Just hopes and dreams within my sight
As I soldier on and muster the will to fight
And I strive on still to hear that sound
Of love and happiness when loss is found
