Find the predator I sheathe
Recognize what lies beneath
Illusions of stability,
Shrouding traps under our feet.
Save me from my demon, please.
The soulless nightmare no one sees.
Every lie that I've believed,
Regretting when I was naïve,
Entropy, I perceive.
Haunted by the unachieved,
The future I will never reach.
Someone to know the truth of me,
To numb my fear with loyalty.
The date my pain has finally ceased,
When this world releases me,
A guardian I ache to leave,
To stand beside any who grieve.
Who'd tell my son fond memories,
And everything my boy may need,
To reunite us in his dreams.
