Seeking Reality

Whispered truths and shadows long

A vacillating, haunted song

My eyes seek the stark cold light of truth

Fingers searching, chasing proof

A dog waits at the back door's frame

Cloaked in rain, silent from shame

I let go, fall deep into the abyss

The net’s decay, a forgotten kiss

Eyes reveal what’s real and what’s fake

Fingers bleed for every wake

My eyes seek reality in the haze

Fingers reaching through the maze

Burn the lies with a fire’s glow

Wicked, worn, I only know

Trash fires flicker, warm and bright

Storms rage on in the dead of night

Can’t bear the sight of what I’ve become

Wicked sun, I am numb

Writing words, truths to unfurl

Hoping you see through my worn-out world

Sorry echoes in the rain

Seeking faith amid the pain

My eyes seek reality in the haze

Fingers reaching through the maze

Burn the lies with a fire’s glow

Wicked, worn, I only know

Forgive me, for the shadows I cast

Seeking light but haunted by the past

Touch the truth, bitter and clean

Wipe the dirt, emerge unseen

Fire still burns, though places burn

Wicked heart, lesson learned

Eyes now see what’s meant to be

In the storm, be free
