The poison of this world seeps in Comforted by my love of sadness The veil breaks, small glimpses of truth unravel Only to crumple and burn once again Truth hidden from sight Truth hidden from mind But my heart is still defiant My heart is still defiant Hanging on by a thread I clench hope as tight as I can As time marches on Memories become relics Anchors impossible to shed Meaning slowly erodes away As my eyes become stained with the past I must find strength I must find a way to Give myself reason to live Not an excuse to die
