Broken truths and shattered dreams,
Come close my child, I must digress.
Memories caught in silver rings,
And I’m at fault for all this mess.
I’m the reason you are lost,
Surrounded by the darkest fears,
For I was blind to horrid cost,
Ignored the pain of child’s tears.
I meant no harm, but still it came,
And all the fault for this is mine.
Though I’m the only one to blame,
The pain has pushed you over the line.
If only you could fly once more,
But here I’ve torn your blackened wings.
Reclaim the hope you held before,
And feel the warmth that loving brings.
If there’s a chance all is not gone,
I will go on with all of my might,
Perhaps so you can see the dawn
Of another day with lasting light.
