FRAGILE

Broken Candle ~ Prelude

broken up inside,
a victim of spurn,
don't know where to turn,
don't know where to hide,



Misery has exhausted my every contemplation,
crestfallen beyond the point of resignation,
there is a silent dignity in carrying on the burden of living,
never to hear a melody note escape a harp singing,

Consider oneself as a fragile miracle,
born of an imperfect world to fail,
surviving by violating the mind's eye of educated morons,
rewards betrothed to the savages stealing knowledge,

Love, the fallable creation of humanity, betrayed me,
the stars of my constellation have burnt out,
no more to do but remain afloat limbo in a void of nothing,
put me to sleep; I can't look, I'm afraid I'll cry...

(... to die ...)
