Painful Revelation

Sweet release within a rushed escape Bitter love and then some mutual rape Innocence relived with blinded eyes Deeper now to see it’s just a lie Strength of steel after all the games Strength of gods when walking through the pain An understanding of a darker place Deeper now that you have had a taste Can you survive a bullet to the head? Can you stand up even though you’re dead? Will we smile again despite our wounds? Can we breathe light despite the favoured moon? The darkest nature’s without sacrifice Forgetting truth is why we weave the night Bettering or choosing to succumb Deepening the hate that makes us numb Can you turn your pain into some truth? Can you live knowing that you could lose? Will we end the hate that needs our souls? Can we forgive despite the pain that grows?
