To Anyone
i find myself dazed with magic
but in a moment smudged with tears
to be torn in an instant
revert to all my fears
a lonely echo in my mind
and so granted no reward
no opportunity to re-examine
rejecting to move me onward
i disappear to fade away somewhere
paralysed by all of you
deprived of something i wanted
yet so real, a quantity so new
nothing should be so sombre
you must generate deep inside
to live a little to appreciate
that innocence you cannot hide
we can devour our inner unkind
and embrace each with warmth
disable all the dread and fright
and tame the ghosts that haunt
