I Remain

the morning sun comes in quick
red bleeds across the clouded sky
you know I'm here, I didn't run
even when the monsoon comes
it doesn't change a blessed thing
I remain, I remain

in the twilight and the dawn
in deep dreams where you belong
in the laughter and the tears
past the valley of pain and consuming fears
I remain, I remain

in the distance through the trees
what does plague also relieves
like sand dripping through the hourglass
slowly catching up with the past
I see it all looking down the sights
the clip is full with one in the chamber
that is how it's supposed to be
anguish ebbs from the wound that bleeds
and I remain
I remain

I thought 'I remain' was a wonderful refrain for this.
