Just Another Useless Rhyme

Home
by: Rob Paquin

This aversion to the light I feel.
This home within the darkness.
This never-ending feeling felt.
Now that I am heartless.

Broken, battered, withered dreams.
From a place so strong and formal
A vision where I'd live in peace.
Before darkness became my normal.

Hope is such a dangerous thing.
That serves a will immortal.
But I am but a temporary being
Destined for Hell's damned portal....

I've always thought my love a curse
Yet now I know it's true
For every turning of this wheel
Will never bring me back to you.

To be a bird so free to fly.
Without these chains around my heart
A soul that's been doomed to die
Right from the very start.

So here within my darkness
This painted smile upon my face
I taste the curses of my love
Even as my heart betrays

Shadows claim each part of me
My anger overcome.
All that's left here deep inside
Are scars left by the sun.

I had always wished it different.
This menagerie of pain
But I know that I am but a droplet.
Swallowed by the drain.

Another of the useless things
That God has cast away
Abandoned by the hopes I held
With all my faiths..., betrayed !
