The Estranged Charlatan

i'll carve my truest thoughts into the wall
tonight with hope that you will hear my plea
the clock once told me one day i would fall
yet never whispered how i'd not be free
the pain i feel invites my heart to break
the winter snow drifts beauty for awhile
although i have nowhere to go, i'll make
the best of this in thinking of your smile
there is a scythe that hides within the wind
it holds your voice and tells me you don't care
oh i apologize for how i sinned
  i never meant to bring you such despair
you tossed me to the streets with no remorse
and cried how you could do with a divorce

i despise that eye-searing daystar
which exposes my naked soul
as i walk throughout this cursed realm
so alone, lost, and unknown
these weary thoughts within my heart
have spilt upon the page
while the center of this dimming life
makes me envy the darkest days
where sorrow thrives and withers light
oh, the heavens undying pain
remains the gift that veils my eyes
through the thought which bore my shame
i cant exist as others do
inside where nothing is left
while feeling so bitter and so cold
in my essence where love is vexed
