Where Lost Hope Lies

Through the endless shadows we turn Amongst the fires of the past we burn For the sake of the child we fend Yet unto an unknown will, we bend For these flames that urge to caress our skin Wears us down much too thin To the highest mountain I shall walk Through fields uncertain Where I fought There rises unbeknownst a cry Culpability smiles Seething and keeping watch Once again it is all my fault I must evade lest they hear These struggles brought in agony The starlit smoldering sky Where arrows burn in flight There remains yet a flicker of hope for you Awaken, set forth and persist Born out of despair, flames, and grief This power grows ever so greatly within me For there is no place left to hide For the anger in me won't subside My eyes have much to tell And your empty stare will lead us into your hell For I always knew you were already gone Every passing day it is you I miss My final message to you is this From the sorrow and rage, I desist Unrequited, I no longer exist.
