Well

Well of wishes black and true
I never thought i'd come to you
with my tears and with my pain
to seek some meager yet
worthless refrain.
But here i am among the tears
of life's cruel and bitter years
to seek your solace and
ancient counsel to see
this curse sad and awful
lifted from my weeping mind
and place into your
bottomless tomb.
Pray as i might and
count the rumors true
the water dark yet
somehow subtly blue
i find myself in doubt at this
strange encounter and
sudden bliss of letting go
and throwing away
my dreams and wishes
my rage and fear
to your decision i leave
these things, hoping that
you take them away.
