He lives no more
In memories crypt
Enslaved to secrets
That dare not slip
And fears no longer
That bitterest truth
Of the thing that was
Which stained his youth
Tendrils may grasp
Like hungry creepers
And his hidden past
Become a reaper
But he knows he is good
Though a much tainted road
Once he traveled upon
With a back breaking load
And he will keep walking
Take no time looking back
He can change nothing
Of that twisted track
But each step he takes now
Can lead into light
Each heavy footfall
Leave a trail into right
That one day when he stops
From that long long road
Perhaps it will be
That he found his way home
And when he turns to see
Just how far he has fared
Mostly light on the road
He will find that he shared
