Pain in Innocence

Pain etched
In my soul
On my soul
I suffer this
Ill-disposed.

Pain radiated
In the whole of me
Unwanted
Unnecessary
But in there—

Not a scalpel
Nor a laser
Can destroy it.
No, indestructible.

Someone
Wretch my heart
Away and save
Me from reality.

Inside, a melody
A chorus floating
Indecisively—
Unpatterend.

Sing it
This composition
And set me free.

The angel wings
Beneath the
Casket door.
