Nostalgia
To yearn for happiness will bring about
An emotion that tears at my weak heart
No wisdom here found in deadly black art
The seeds of dissent this feeling will sprout
Pure happiness this seedling will wipe out
Only sadness and fear will it impart
Within the mind, clear logic does depart
And life everlasting comes into doubt
To exorcise this Hadean demon
The path is long and leads to sure danger
Find within the rotten mind a glimpse of
Salvation, redemption, peaceful Eden
Escape from this evil, deadly stranger
Into her open arms, outstretched with love
