TURMOIL

There used to be a soul here

There used to be some faith

But now there's only tragedy

And wounds that decimate

These shadows are sliding down

As I vow that you're not worth crying over

Even as the teardrops swell;

My heart immersed again in doubt (doubt, fear, angst, and tears)

Myself, an empty crevice

Where hope and trust had once rested;

A heart that feels a fugitive

A mind that feels a scream

As shadows slide into the sun

And cancel out a dream

These things will never leave me...
