This was my first ever poem, interpret how you like and I hope you enjoy.
Thy name is fear and deceit thy game
We drift in a void bewildered by shame
Forever searching for the way out
Enduring the pain of every bout
We think us lost for none can see
That fear’s true name is deceit

We cry for mercy, happy thoughts and love
Till we search for answers from up above
To find no more than the strongest veils
Between love, happiness and the fear that hails
And as we drown beneath deceit
We must truly wonder can we see

We watch the other gazed on by light
Too dim to shine on the path we fight
Forever swinging in the dark
Too blind to seek nor find our mark
So as we weep at loss not lost
We fall beneath the spaceless frost

And as we fill the void with pain
With every drop of blood like rain
We clutch the other deep in blame
Too afraid to know it’s love not shame
But as the sun sets forth it’s light
We realise it’s no more void than night

Soon the dark will flee in fright
To the mercy of an endless sight
As the sun will never truly set
For in that we could not have met
So as we sing the void is tamed
We sing love truly be thy name
