Happiness in darkness fades
All the colors turn to grays
To take a look through my eyes
to see that I am mortified 
to see all that your wrath has wrought 
a mind trapped within its thoughts
to my cell you hold the key
for thoughts of you imprison me
A swift ending would suffice
To leave this prison of my device 
To feel no more, to leave this place
To no longer see your face
With each long torturous day 
I wish your memory away
And if you would look inside
A piece of you in me to find
Not to help or to heal
but to make my soul its meal
And when I am dead and gone
To see I knew it all along
Inside of me the thorn did hide
I found it easy to disguise 
To smile, wave, and to talk
While in the valley I did walk
A whole man I was no more
My better half dead long before...
