a million tears fall from the heavens 

thorns prick my flesh 

purification 

through this suffering with a crown 

contains my soul, locked 

in a cedar embrace 



shadows return showing images of bitterness 

unify to embrace words which ring true 

drying tears rest upon a fallen shoulder 

corruption breathes in a new life, everlasting 



your false love turned into my hate 



the spreading wings of innocence 

will fly away, forever grasping something that remains pure
