Once upon a lonely path
I came upon a broken soul
Weary, torn, devoid of love
Hollow eyes, burning cold.
Blind to life's virtue
He spat at the earth
Cursing creation
For his very birth
"Mercy!" he cried
His voice bleeding pain
Sneering derision
For the world of the sane
"For mercy I beg you!
Or at least for release"
I've been such a fool
Only Death will bring peace."
"What hope is there?"
He cried out in sorrow,
What hope is there,"
For a tearless tomorrow?"
I looked at him then,
His soul's razor edge
"Unless you have Hope,
You may as well die dark."
