Too many times has this been the case,
hide behind cute poison
sleep it off return to slender
in the wake of humble words
Or do not rise at all
moment of [bad word] through a now clean mind
 [bad word] deeply down the spine of the once clouded mind
Integrity to gain again, tales told of the night which [bad word] to remain
conscious in the mind of the abuser
For the sake of a glimpse of those we had lost long ago
