Above and beyond

Above and beyond
By AJ O’Brien.

Struggling for light
my mind high and dry
seeking only solitude
beneath a crowded sky.

Madness, so enticing,
kneeling before my lover’s grave
forgive me Lord
for her soul I could not save.

Darkness, a lonely companion
my heart midnight black,
I can no longer abide
the thought of looking back.

I pierce my heart
I was so so wrong,
falling forever
beneath her empty song.
