Unproven Promise

Mariana’s depression; oceans deep; Her inclined thoughts; too bleak, too steep Her breath whirlpools around life’s mouth As she sink’s beneath the bosom of mother earth New life’s dangled on a piece of string Enticing her like the first day of spring Beware the hand that gives without a face Without a name; an unfathomable force, without a trace Something's feeding off her soul with delight Something catastrophic from the dark side, maybe a parasite Something powerful at work here; laid before her, smouldering in an ashtray As her tears fly and bullets spray; some say, just pray The world’s scarred; her heart’s marred Oceans apart, but we insist we’re centred United as we circle the throat of the abysmal We finally accept that nothing’s impossible after all
