How must you hasten your change?
Soul torn from white to black
As the fleeting words arrange
Your soul in shards and tack
Before the sands arise
The red strings wrapped my arm
For your intentions strewn in eyes
Your words caressed me to unharm
For as the moon rose full
Your actions formed to oppose
Your gem strewn eyes turned dull
As the black turned to arose
Let this be my final apology, my final leave to tune
I'll leave you be, I'll leave you alone, I no longer know you
