The world changes and I must face what I did

I caught the tear from when the sky fell

the hell in which I dwell became the shell

in which I hide

I sought sanctuary from my thoughts, my mind

the darkness that surrounds my brain

is the pain that chains me, keeps me sane

now I leave it behind

I stay buried in my thoughts from when I was alone

wishing I was one to be two, how could I have known

see what I see, what I was shown for I shone brighter

I was stone, harder, brighter, higher, fighter and lighter

I couldn't see the world as it was, and yet now I see

I will forever be blind to the world as it is blind to me

Yet my love sees it, she sees my pain, my way of life

my strife that not pricked with sincerity, sharp as a knife

it's true that the world will be duller, but fuller as I breathed

in a world with no breath so sharp as to have kept it sheathed

I cut with my words, they leave burning marks upon flesh

What fresh hell could I release from a calm easy rest?

I confess that my world is dark

That I hide more than is marked

That this outside, this bark

is but the absolute bareness

I reveal before we embark

The skies are light blue, the sun overhead

I thought the night before I would surely be dead

but instead I rise like warm air, as love may rise

I've escaped my demise, and land upon a butterfly

So small, that I may never feel large

Insignificant, and I may never take charge

If I may be forged in love, see me weak

yet forged in hate, I conquer the meek

What do I seek?

The colors begin to fade, my eyes begin to fail

Her hazel suns on the horizon as I set sail

I'm frail, too weak to understand, still I stand

I take her hand and watch the grains of sand

slip the the glass of my heart, for my ego is soothed

my bloodthirst sated, no god am I, it's overrated, 

or perhaps I may stay with my creations

Watch them create their own nations

watch them grow from their own stations

watch them become what I only dreamed

Why be a mortal, for a god, it would seem

may have all and more, and live truly free
