Devotions in dispute Color subdued Pages torn Bindings worn thin Normalcy undermined Past euphoria liturgies No thoughts of difference Sought after silence Acceptance once boundless Refrain bare clarity Pause to feel nothing Before the constant search Envy and burden Failings of passion Become unseen Standards narrowed by strides Numb from mirrored light Final talks lost like the rest Swarmed in the sound Travail evident Reveries overridden Blatant acts devoid of reserve Aged and questioned patterns transgress
