To the sun,
what have I done?
This sadness, this madness,
surrounded by badness.
My mind is breaking.
My heart is aching.
My soul has cracked.
My entire being ransacked.
Like a fish out of water,
I am suffocating. Slaughter…
It’s cold, lonely, dark.
Please give me a spark.
Don’t leave me in this void,
Don’t let me be destroyed.
Please come back soon.
From the moon.
