Confessional

A world now standing still In awe of what was killed Frozen in the wake Of every lost mistake Nowhere to begin For every broken thing Silence strangles thought In shock of what I caught A darkness shining through Replaying every truth Alone beyond repair Repayments I can’t spare And all in my defence I proclaim innocence Perhaps there was a time But not for my greatest crimes The pain has turned to ice My shame shrouded by night The stars will shape her face The hearts that I betrayed Averting all denial This humble crying child Desires to atone Until the dark is overthrown
