Off in the distance

there's relieve

in the white

yet the sun's

too far away

to endure life

“Never”

The darkness cried

but no one listened

Innocence

is gone

no solace in sight

the conscience numbed

and you will know

but never understand

If I look back, I am lost

If I look back

and it falls

into oblivion

memories drowned

in dismay

in the coldness

of a winter

lasting

for decades

If I look back, I am lost

If I look back
