The tree grows sturdy The rock withstands the raging floods Fate wields the axe Turns the tide that will one day Cause the stone to break Inside this painful dissonance I commend myself to dark oblivion Petrified and crippled My safe harbour lies in ruins A life never to be lived Joy never to be felt Laughter never to be heard again Never to be healed again Estranged and marked by loss I lash out at the unreachable Disposable creature Denying the uncomfortable Your soul will never cease to pulse inside me
