Redemption In The Dark

C,A.Tetro /Zandrew26(Andrew Torn)

 

A path that love has forged           

Wreckage strewn and dark

To fill this vessel drained                 

 To kindle fire without a spark

 

In the aftermath of turmoil only shadows remain

No more the light and warmth can  dwell

Within these walls of a living shell

The offerings he  sees will be his  bane

 

A plague be upon them that would   defame

And this tainted love he  will take to his  grave

To quell the longing of an empty heart

Let this fortress he  has built play it’s part

 

The King has cursed his name

Only one card remains, the queen of hearts

And alone the jack stands accused

Waiting for redemption in the dark

Hello,

This is exquisite loneliness. My favorite lines are:

“A plague be upon them that would defame

And this tainted love he will take to his grave

To quell the longing of an empty heart

Let this fortress he has built play it’s part”

Congratulations, the two of you work well together!
