Every enemy within I have built, constructed

And any particle of pain, it is mine

No indemnity, no quarter, no mercy instructed

The very hardening of hate over time

Every enemy within I have made, created

And every article within the abyss

Every mirror I have seen I have cursed, berated

And any move is just a shot and a miss

Only visceral regret and remorse remaining

A quantum warning to myself in the past

Lonely isolated prison inside containing

The wanton destruction of first to the last

Only miserable intent will leave me devoured

A wanting of a time that never can be

Own the future and the past is reduced to hours

Of a memory and now I am free

Still the sun and the stars

shine on rubble here below

Through the doubt and the dark

and the awful undertow

And though the emptiness pulls your hand away from mine

I know the heaviness will leave again
