Love Exchange Failure - White Ward

Empty streets wallow in night lights

Crowded for a day, they rest

But lonely strangers always gaze

At every turn, they do their best

While someone’s running from themselves

They often want to save some time

Instead, they make an old mistake

Passionately commit a crime

Feeble flesh is torn apart

Blood and dust are turned to mud

Once was bright — will never shine

I gift you with what was mine

Take my pains and leave a prayer

I am your most sinful player

The redemption for my past

Turned your smile into rust

A child is drowned within

Entombed in a pool of tears

A grownup is buried alive

And lives a life that’s full of nightmares

A victim’s always innocent

A murderer is sleepless

All my tears are pushing me

To the loss of empathy

I delegate my weaknesses to you

And carve a hymn to tyranny

With nails that go deep inside your chest

I wish you all the best
