Children of Eris


A small child Cries In Pain and Loss In Heartless care With an unknown cost A minds Sweet game Of Hope to ration To get Lost in worlds Of Compassion To ease the Heart Broken shard by shard By those who should Love But instead Discard Then age receives the Blessing To go off on ones own But Woe to he who remembers Life's first stepping stones The Pain follows The mind games too Until they're Gone Without a thing to do Help the child Who Screams from under Dusty floorboards and pulls him asunder His Life was meant As Miracles go For Love and Joy everything so Hurt not the child For Sin of thy own A Love to kindle Not to be Thrown
