Hiding in a mad forest of shadows
Darkness has conquered my life with deepest chill
Grappling with self-loathing brutality,
My spirit laments as the clock ticks on.
I would have dedicated my life to you
I knew I could be left heartbroken and upset
from lost hope; grim devastation is bait
to what others have defined
Ignore this heart made barren
I embrace what is flawed and right
death-tinged petals
Thorns of hatred in depths of pain
