Broken, we lay, immense in love’s discourse
Listless in time, turmoil avast, lost in remorse
Our demise, was but a fault, truly of my own
My reasoning, honestly, to me is unknown

A derealized mind twisted, reality in dismay
Memories of a tragic past entrancingly replayed
Fade from me, oh time, that was within grasp
You return, and I can’t stand this arduous task

Lust and sin, did play a part, to our eternal fall
We were lost, in the shadow of the devils shawl
My contempt, was just the lack of our devotion
Getting lost, a belittling reality, and lost emotion

One day, love will rear, it’s enigmatic head
Just one day before I end up alone and dead
God, grant me peace, at least just for now,
Or send me a reason, to make an eternal vow
