AYLATER

Trapped in complacency 
In sickness, a self-satisfaction
SADDNESS.

A driven inaction
	In stubborn madness
A wish for her to see this life
From the inside
See what I see

The schism of the cut
	The weight of the hilt
		The blade of the knife

In balance we divide

Losing the me I used to be
In ruin of the kingdom I built.
A sinking ship
	On a violent sea.
