one side of this
watershed moment
left the fair and true objective
far behind
for fear of facing
what rationale resigns to
the thought of you alone
with demons on your mind

let go of this
the embers of the day
bring not the fire
to the combustible night
rather have the anger
extinguish the flames
than numbing chemicals
to keep it at bay

ravaging the nerves
overtaking conciousness
what was said
and what was done
now haunt the witching hour

let the now begin today
to the past a swift farewell
innocence is nothing
when shadowminds prevail
let the fear be gone today
to oblivion we cast it down
when shadowminds prevail
