Daydream
The first ray of light drags me headfirst through
my dreams
Scars appear at the sight of my tender flesh
Scared yet mourning for sympathy it seems
As dusk falls I heal one wound so fresh
My mind is starved by all that is lost
Forbidden to love and surrendered to silence
Feeding off the ache of an empty heart
Are memories of all the peaceful violence
What triggered poison by the simplest of sin
Left blinding veils on each word spoken
What perished outside while we died within
Was flaming pieces of worthless tokens
No power enough to heal the tired arms of time
The bravest fell to pray on dust, soothing tears of
seeds
By fate, whom we confronted only in crime
Road never turned enough to save a heartbeat
