And again I face my fantasies
Illicit voices sing
Absent mother fails to see
And again I taste the tears that keep me sound
As words used in defiance inflame…
Instilling the fear
Their eyes blinded to the reasons
As their thoughts distil their deepest fears
Their lives reflect their darkest seasons
Behind the walls of unforgiven years
In her hands she hides her desperate tears
Elusive voices sigh
My resentment builds within
In her tears I hide my insecurities
My words spoken in rage inflict…
Revealing my deepest fears and shame
Their eyes blinded to the reasons
As their thoughts distil their deepest fears
Their lives reflect their darkest seasons
Behind the walls of unforgiven years
Through my fears I face my frailty
As lucid voices speak
Her resentment fades away
Through the bitter years I kept my dignity
My words, once laced with rage, absolve…
Rebuilding the years
Their eyes opened to the reasons
As their thoughts dispel their deepest fears
Their lives reject their darkest seasons
Beyond the walls of unforgiven years
