A Glimpse of Perfection - Akeldama

Hopelessness and desperation

Have become my comfort

I find terror in the thought that

Change could end my suffering

I’ve been stripped of everything

There’s nothing left of me here

Not even a memory

I’ve become content with this dreary wasteland

Afraid to seek out change

But this lingering hope won’t leave me

It nags at the center of my being

It compels me to move, to search

To find someone here who completes me

Innocent

In my desperation

Seek another life

One I’m calling out to

With everything inside me

This is my last my hope

I wander aimlessly

Clinging to this incessant distant dream

Finally

I catch a glimpse of her

She’s shining

Bathed in blue light

I can feel my soul igniting

I give chase

I long to look into her eyes

I know that everything I’ve lost

Within her gaze I’ll find

But now I’ve lost her in the crowd

Desperation closes in on me

I can’t lose her now

I’ve found the source of my hope

I can feel it in my heart

Having this ripped from me

Will tear me apart

I knew I should have left it

Well enough alone

This hope I’ve found has done nothing

But drag me deeper

Hopelessness and desperation

Have become my comfort

I find terror in the thought that

Change could end my suffering

All of the light that shines from within her

Won’t stop calling to me

I must accept that this hope will never fade

Until the day I find her
