I am torn by the duality of my spirit. Destroyed by indecision, halted in hesitation. Am I cold and heartless? Merciful and compassionate? I spend countless hours exploring my soul. After ages passed,

As I sit here staring, madly glaring at the pieces of the past you left behind Tiny, insignificant, trivial things heavy with sentiment and regret I pray the memories won't last that soon I shall forget

We're all talk, talk, talk but no body listens we speak as if we're free because we refuse to see or cage of gilded bars so pretty when they glisten Cautiously, we move our feet upon the predetermined
