the sky is a little bit darker
the air, a little bit colder
the world, a little rougher
at times when The Night forgets.
as helpless as I can be,
I struggle a little bit harder
desperately trying even my worst lies,
hoping to hold back the sea of tears
residing in my eyes -
yet I fail,
Every time The Night forgets.
and at the zenith,
the last piercing moment
that leads me to unbearable melancholy
I see your reflection in my tears-
and I remember You.
and in this sacred space
I cleanse myself of all that is ugly
in respect for the beauty of your memory
and I pray until all my tears are gone-
I forgive the world for moving on...
Every time The Night forgets.

Angst/pain - pain/angst. You paint the cyclical trap of self pity with brooding strokes of deadening genius.
