Forgotten
Forgotten by the night
Those who have lost
Before they could love
Forgotten be the happiness
Upon which we thrive
Destroying the bridges we built
Forgotten friendship
Not to steel and bullets
But to the pen and word
Forgotten by the night
Love and grace omitted
Happiness scarce
Forgotten be the tyranny
Lost to acceptance
Destroyed be humanity
Forgotten be the sadness
By ethereal bliss
Forever unkempt in ignorance
Forgotten by the night
The mists settle
Blocking true sight
Forgotten be the harmony
Days of past destroy
Days of future uncertain
Forgotten forgiveness remains
Those who seek it lost in the night
Those who give it lost in thought
Forgotten by the night
Lost in thoughts
Misplaced in time
Forgotten be the end
For all to see
But none to hear
Forgotten be the sadness
Lost to the light
Brought by the one
Forgotten is everything
When the one is found
Hoist the heart of those it meets
Forgotten by the darkness
Light flourishes for all to see
To end the darkness of the fallen heart
Forgotten by the darkness
The heart soars
Saved by love
