A fading light, the joys of Christmas are,
Yet not entirely extinguished,
For I live for happiness,
And I carry the old torch
To all on this night,
I do pledge the better hearts,
On every street, a fragment remains,
And these fragments, in their life time, may seek the internal flame
Fragments are just portions of memories,
Every year, in timeless fashion, we sing, we dance, we live
We cry, we sigh,
We fear, we die
But in my hollow shell,
Past my damned bones,
I say to you,
"Which beat is from the heart,
Which love has grown apart?
By now my soul, now scarred, in faded remiss,
But never conquered, never failed, even on Christmas"
And I remember that this is for another,
Not just for me,
If that person would witness me now...
That person would have been the happier bunch
The dredge nights are rough but they calculate a better scar,
My name weighs less now,
Some cool dunes between us both, between the desert camel and the lion-hearted
Salty seas,
From one island to
The New World,
Yet sails of age show signs of age
May I ask, how long is this rain?
Every scrap meat better than a tobacco plant,
No gold here,
No soul here
In some amber woods I did awoke,
And played with it did I,
Far too long, should I say,
Then ran elsewhere
I was always afraid of the future,
I had to thank Perry for what he did,
Lest I be forever vassalized,
And my ink never used
Yet I believed in my misconception,
What fool wouldn’t?
I said I would not have regrets,
And I am not sorry for the life I could not live
I returned to the woods,
No one greeted me,
I took off my coat,
I was never gone
"After the darkness, I finally found semblances of peace. I'm so scared. What if it isn't the right light? Where am I now?
I feel so alone... please, when will the rain stop?
Where is the world I call my own. How can I have been so blind to what my own mouth was saying.
In final thoughts, final lights, I would have worn a sway should I have been the better me. At last, in my least, I have found some broken pieces, and some broken peace."
Thank you much for the watch man! I’ll try not to disappoint. I should be at Nightmare Nights someday. I mean, I only live an hour from it, but I want to have something to show.
