He took me away (ll)
Saturday, September 30, 2006
That night again,
the demon came.
He came in a false pretence,
his name otherwise known as love.
His disguise baffled the onlookers,
his reasons never far away.
Together, they can easily
devour the remnants of my soul.
Make me pine, make me hope,
all for the sake of a release,
a catharsis that never comes.
Yet as I drowned in a pool of tears,
someone came up to me and said,
"Wake up boy,
wake up and find your way.
Don't care what the others think.
Care only what is right.
Care only what justifies.
Care only what will heal."
In the middle of the park,
I could hardly make out a figure,
his silhouette a burly one,
his voice yet a familiar one.
I knew then it was him.
He came back for me.
I know I can fall,
I know the world can desert me.
Everyone can shun away,
and not care.
But not him,
not his love.
His fatherly love to see me through,
against all odds,
thus shall rise.
It is strange,
when people around you,
are the people that aren't living
in my heart.
And no wonder they say,
love is eternal.
'cause even when he is not around.
Even when his body cease to exist,
his love will guide me;
Guide me all through,
the fragility of relationships,
the demons residing from within,
the love that is nonchalent.
Thank you.
And the demon dismissed.
