in what I trust
in shadows
i must
think in terms
what can I trust
I trust in me
I trust Ill see
see
what others wont
ive seen
what I cannot tell
I trust in that
I trust in hell
in what I trust
in dark
in lust
influx
mans eternal
downward
thrust
levels below
levels beneath
levels and levels
beneath the streets
where monsters roam
stalk and feed
only innocence
can sate
the need
the greed
they feed
the power
the creed
i trust
in only
what I know
where ive been
what Ive left
what ive survived
what i ve learned
and left behind
what i still carry
why I hide
what knowledge i have
locked inside
in what I trust
in hopes in fear
someday maybe
someday hear
footfall of one
one who ll hear
here
with me
with open ear
open heart
open mind
open arms
a hand in mine
balance time
tip the scale
level with light
balance finally
darkness with light
high noon
high noon
sun overhead
no shadows fall
no walking dead
no haunted faces
no empty eyes
no unlit corners
no silent cries
trust in hope
in hope entrust
a future rises
from the dust
but one hand
gently strong
for what Ive fought
waited long
a hand that holds
not holds down
a hand to grasp
before I drown
in but one
only one
all i need
entrust my trust
a fragile seed
protected and hidden
from eyes
from greed
the fragile seed
the fragile need
crack in the concrete
bits of green
life holds on
struggles
fights
shaky roots
holding tight
reaching
reaching
for the light
entrust
my trust
in fragile seed
only one
is all i need
crack in the concrete
fragile
need
crack in the concrete
fragile seed
