There's a rule that I have to follow

Even in our sleep, pain which we cannot even begin to describe,
falls drop by drop upon the hearts of our friends and lovers,
until in our own despair,
we crumble,
and our shame taints the core of our human being.

But.
With love,
Compassion,
and Wisdom for one another,
the feeling of justice and peace guaranteed prevails,
lasting forever,
deep within the hearts of those who believed.

Because for endless days we left the lights on in our houses,
afraid of the things that go bump in the dark,
but more afraid of the things which may lurk in our own homes,
and although you already know that what you see isn't always what you get,
You've gone.
You're gone.
So throw me out to play in the rain,
In the devil's playground,
Because I'm still reminded regardless how much the simplest things like this would have made you smile.
