Entranced in smoke and shadow
I lay in wait for time to pass
Remembering woes that left me hollow
and built inside, a heart of glass.
Reminisced on memories so faded
they perhaps were no more than dreams
Longed for a perception untainted
by the things that were less than they seemed.
Reflected thoughtfully upon the day
and the reasons i had averted my eyes
Left behind secrets i needed to say
saw beneath your shallow disguise.
I traced a star, begot in sorrow
bled a tear whose stain would last
Died in a flame i'll forget tomorrow
as i lay in wait, for time to pass.
