The Dark Teacher

Eyes pried to learn through sight Lips sealed to silence spite Doors closed from everyone This is the light without the sun The angry child will come of age In bitterness he counts his days Through memories he feeds the rage This man was built in disarray The fallen son exists in death In emptiness he finds regret Through pain he finds he must not forget He crawls away to catch his breath The lone man exists for peace In silence he holds the keys Through self he sees eternity But the black hole within can not be free The wise man will let it go In solitude he’s learnt to grow Through loneliness he finds the flow The debt is paid, but he’ll always know Dark days and disrepair The end to life is without care The door will open if we wait Without the sun there’s still our faith
