Like the moon shining in the night sky.

I see you as you walk silently by.

You turn your head, I turn a blind eye.

Yet inside I wither, possibly die.

Monstrous pain torments my soul.

Sorrow my friend is balefully woe.

As towards despair, my mind shall go

No other way do I now know.

Once so close, yet now so far.

Sides were taken, and the die was cast.

It seems this now, must always last.

Oh for the days of the past!

Through hazy dreams of fiendish fright,

I wake in anguish every night.

There is no cure anywhere in sight,

For nothing can bring back the banished light.

My mind is a trap set sure as can be.

Thoughts a prison made to last all eternity.

They trick and deceive. Torment and tease.

Is there any way they might be appeased?

It seems unlikely, this is my burden to bear

A crown of my own making I must sadly wear.

No use crying over it, since when is life ever fair?

I’ll keep silent always, this pain is my share.

So I’ll howl through the night

Filled with shame and fright.

Giving vent to feelings smothered by plight

As I wordlessly broadcast pains hellish delight.
