Symphony to scattered dust

i sang an ode to what i thought was joy,
thinking it was my way of breaking free
from what had slowly managed to destroy
even the last remains of sanity in me.
the tune that ended my pretentious ode
had filled a glass of sorrow and disgust
up to the point in which it overflowed
with emptiness, notes turning to dust.

just like a smiling ray of sunshine, you
came by and swiftly blew away the dust.
my vision clear, now i can finally undo
my stupid creed that turned my love to lust.
You broke the bars that held me hostage
in a jail that i had built inside my soul.
now that i’m free, i’ll make a pledge
to not allow myself to ever lose control.

I’m yours… and as the hardships follow
i swear i will not make the same mistake
of pushing you away again. Once hollow,
my heart now thrives because you take
all that is evil in me, ugly and obscene
and make it beautiful, profound and good.
i’ll be your king, and you will be my queen
and i will love you like none other would.
