​Sentiment and Sins

I beg for repentance as pangs of longing and guilt maul you
Seeking asylum in the distant comfort of fading love shall enthrall you

Wizened old wizards and their pensieves, swirling silver light
Swallow your conscious, your sins, lest they befall you

Limbs dangling precariously on an edge, blackhole of darkness beneath
Whispered secrets and traumas, hidden smirks as we appall you

Scarlet couches enveloping you, dingy fan in the corner
Giggles about past lovers chime like morning bells, innocent youth call you

Avenues of dancing trees, stretching their limbs wide for a long-lost embrace
Marching in time, left nor right, before the lurking shadows to stall you

Bursting oranges and scarlet slash across the dimming heavens, smoldering fires alight from within
Burning lips and traded glances, might he ever recall you?

Oh, the joys of a hardened heart. Shunned for all who gaze upon
Peer down from an haughty throne, reject all who dare befall you

Eyes narrowed upon the winding road before you
Step by step, dragging dusty feet about the ground, you keep going
