Garden of Forgiving

As I walked by the old tree,

In the garden of forgiving;

I lost myself, in the wiggly twigs.

Caught in the twilight, my soul was to stay.

When I looked back a fainted voice whispered in dismay;

“As the day goes by, you will believe the lie

And when the night catches you,

Everything will be untrue”

Frightened yet calm I kept looking back,

As if I waited for my soul, to break out of the crack.

But as the time passed by,

I realized; I was lost in my weary I.

I suddenly remembered;

For years and years ago

Before I even knew sorrow,

A girl came to me,

Her yellow eyes shone in the bright moonlight

She said; “hurry, come to me

This, I want you to see”

She led me to a lake

Deep inside a forsaken place

The water reflected the stars

“Look at me” she said “look at my scars”

Her soul was shattered and her heart
- I was unable to see.

“Are you afraid?” She whispered in agony

“Are you afraid of me?”

She swayed in the wind,

Her white bones were now to see.

A corps in front of me,

She fell to the filthy ground,

And left me alone with no sound.

From that moment,

The darkness surrounded me,

I was afraid and wanted to flee.

Lost in the dark I wandered for years

And as I came to this garden,

I had to front all of my fears.

Stronger yet still weak,

I am able to walk through the desert of dreams,

And as I ignore all the screams,

The sand and dust will make me fade,

And my heart will turn into a darker shade.

My eyes will search for this thing called freedom,

Which the wind Keeps whisper softly about

Caught in between

The middle of the dream,

I fought with rage

And escaped from the cage,

Finally, am I able to leave?

I thought as I destroyed the last creature,

In the late darkened eve.

A familiar face

Showed up to erase

The tracks I’d left

In my search for the loss,

I looked up to find the cause.

Her eyes shone and twinkled,

“I can now see you’ve lost the game

And I guess I’m the one to blame”

She swayed in the wind and just before she left

She said “Now, here is your soul what more do you crave?

You are gone; you are dead, go rest in your grave!”
