Dissension

When tangled hope yields to the sadness, That sweeps like madness in a perigee tide My soul silently abandons redress Steady sun sings struggles of my weakness Its rays chide that the light cannot abide When tangled hope yields to the sadness Thick sorrow of humanity manifests Releasing its turmoil within drawn sighs My soul silently abandons redress Comfort comes through forgetfulness, unless The gnawing fear refuses to subside When tangled hope yields to the sadness Because the darkness remains unaddressed I am forced daily to cry and abide, My soul silently abandons redress Yet I cannot contain the emptiness And only God knows how hard I’ve tried When tangled hope yields to the sadness My soul silently abandons redress
