The Future Is Bright
Promises of the future
shone brighter than today
The air cleared, the fog lifted
Lifted the mist from my eyes
Promises of love and protection
Passion and fury
Ironic hatred of unfelt feelings
Of misery, of passion, of pleasure
Promises of heartbreaks
Pain and remorse
Of peep shows, pep talks and
Mid night walks
By moonlight, by candle
My cradle and breast
An unearthly suckling
Will my heart arrest
No cryptic clues
No tangled secrets
I am my own, and yours
And that's how i keep it
Sunset dies, moonrise begins
My own is fated to a deadly sin
Gluttony, Greed, Sloth or Lust
I am fated to be alone until my moon dies
