A Threnody

O’ dreary night my heart collapsed

The dread of a new dawn formed daunting traps

O’ lifeless night I can hear the fear groaning

The threat of the end is frightening

I will mend every rhyme,

leaving it all behind.

I will mend every rhyme,

and someday I will be defined.

in this absence of promises,

truth is being held as hostage

cast away the enlightenment to guide us

through this winding maze

I will mend every rhyme,

leaving it all behind.

I will mend every rhyme,

I will be defined.
