I cast you out
I cast you out
but you will not stay gone
I sought peace
a rhythm of silence
I cast you out
but see your ghostly form
in shadow as the night
shifts and shatters
in this silence I am broken
without your voice
begging me to live
bringing me anger or fire
into shadow I am broken
what did I betray
to find my way
into this loneliness?
the night is cold and so silent.
