Regardless

by

Thomas Granger

Sorrow might have only taken everything I ever like
I still keep some warmth, although the cold just seemed to spike
But it does not change the weather, that which only time will do
My heart's designed for pleasure and believes you if you're true

Made of broken fragments, torn and shredded on the floor
From you and all the others, I don't want hurt anymore
Collect me in a heap of dust, a man who once was wild
I throw away games you play, no longer exist as a child

The memories of a day before my life was not betrayed
Take me down this barren trail, warn by those who've strayed
Apart from all the wanderers who stay within the mass
Without a soul to guide my way, my pain may never pass

I keep it, for my aura does not permit the chance
For my company to approve of me, in-spite my circumstance
So regardless of the ridicule I'm feeling in the air
No worry of tomorrow, it's today you need to care

As we're on the subject of my aura, in the turn
It detects the only ones who would my Love so likely burn
To give them a small part of me, the part that can't be scorn
It's not my difficulty, I've been here since I was born

To relieve you of the wonder, I will stay, protect the light
In the dank, cold of the darkness, where the flames will not ignite
Any, last, flammable emotions that I keep
So finally, in the future I can drift off, back to sleep

NEXT?
Why don't you look at I Like You RAT
