An icy zephyr
Bestows the night...

When I raze each hurt
Brought unsolicited before...

A storm doles out this dismal night
Rain drops drizzle down cobblestone course...

I sit under the tree
A haven for solace...

Will the spell she casts
In time be broken...

Pages torn from the book of lies
Betrayed by the haze of a sad child's eyes...

I have lingered in the shadows of deceit
Where the bonds of love and kindness never meet...

Once again in my place
You're silent slap across my face...

It's hard, searching inside
Not seeing the glimmer...

I really haven't left you
I'm only going home...
