and
tired of hiding
they came out of the shadows
to brighten that gloomy heart.
But in vain did they choose
too illuminate the dull flame within the cold heart.
But alas, it was only a failed attempt, for the shadows themselves feared that light.
But alas, it was only a failed attempt, for the shadows themselves feared that light.
Only to watch in shame as the gracefully sorrow-stricken heart fall to the unforgiving ground
like a sparrow shot down from the heavenly sky.
