Come to me

To the fairest of souls in an unfair world

To the darkest of fears all wrapped in a pearl

To the conqueror of dreams on a night so worn

To the father of terrors only soon to be born

No phrase as ghastly from the one who spoke

No ears hear the words of those still unwoke

The blessed call but the sound forgotten

The voice unheard, all faith rotten

The psychic swears, the mentor sings

The clock struck one, but the bells still ring

Fight for nothing, live amongst the ash

Avoid the curve, only to hear the crash

Try to avoid the lips unpursued

Feel the doom as you find yourself cursed

Look to the sunlight, for there is joy

But forget not the moonlight, my wayward boy

For the rays only show for those in the present

The past long gone, the future in the heavens

Call me a fool, I’m sure you’re right

Watch me run, far away from the fight

Cast your blessing upon me, you witless seer

Look me in the eye, you will see true fear

And so life goes on without a fumble

The house stands strong, pray it doesn’t crumble

As hope lives on in this fraught struggle

Don’t breathe the word, just solve the puzzle

Ask me for meaning and a quizzical stare you get

Instead ask for the truth and hope I don’t forget

Only one can know the demons inside

Only those afraid know where to hide

Kiss my head and tell me a story

Hide my crown and with it my glory

See me now, I don’t understand

How you know me like the back of your hand

Come to me, you know I want you around

But don’t come too close, this is holy ground
