Polluted Absolution :

By Roland Willemse

Beyond the utter disappointment

Underneath my hardened shell

Lay a drive that kept me steering

Away from tendencies to hell

Been throughout the expectations

Felt delight towards the pain

Within the truth that agony is

Dreams just vanish with the rain

Factual Illusions

Seeking them for everymore

Sacrificing much still wasn't enough

For my wrath to be unchained

Through, with it all

Nothing, left to say

I'd rather, be there

Serenity... Awaits me

Approaching me without remorse

Blameless for being unaware

Touching the boundaries of my loss

Forgiveness is spent untill I die
