pain fills those little eyes
pleading for escape
screams ring in other rooms
as his mind is raped
a child dies within his home
bruising with that hate
waiting for his mother's arms
but has she come too late?
the child pounds with growing anger
looking for release
this he finds within his hatred
yet anger does not cease
he burrows in this daily sorrow
growing every day
afraid to learn, always fight
till nothing's left to say

good bye to you
my dearest sky
so black in darkness
for you, i sigh
i dance through stars
and around the moon
dying in pleasure
yet going so soon
missing each night
i'll spend away
dreading the light
and shunning the day
wishing for freedom
yet locked in cage
knowing that brightness
and feeling your rage
i see your stars fall
to sunny hollows
dying in solitude
your tears, to follow
missing each moment
i'm not with you
drowning in mud
i can't see through
wishing i'd not gone
and left you there
alone, the night
with nothing to spare
just running to brightness
from you, my sky
and now as i sit
i'm unable to cry
just dying in bleakness
without you here
wishing i'd stayed
you'd calm my fear
yet i left
i can't return
so now and forever
i'll slowly burn
thinking of nights
your face so kind
regretting this day
and stars, left behind
