In the innocence of youth, a solemn bond,
A pledge made beneath this sky beyond.
Reflecting glass mocks tears trickle down
Disliking the chosen path sown as seeds sown.
A frigid world where shadows dance and play
Is this the routine we endure day by day?
Escaping from a selfs confines
In the labyrinth a heart grows cold, with time.
Seeking solace in moments, like flight
The absence of tomorrow drowned in nights might.
Indulging until no sorrows remain for the morn
Yet whispers linger of a dawn to be born.
Conflicting melodies drift through air
A souls lament, a burden heavy to bear.
This childhood vow softly echoes in my ear
Within darkness hearts find solace and repair.
