Stringent bellowing upon my ear
have only awoken my age-old fear
of policing my heart along every step
leaving me a battered wreck

Instead of the love I once sought out
I hear my heart strings plucked with doubt,
And only to awake to the sound of rain
I can only wish for something as sweet as pain

Because all I fear is a dying abyss
and the funny thing is you won't  even miss
how we roused together every day
and now my world has blankened, darkened, and grey
