demons also cry

Beyond the crave for death

All I sought was first,

Weep-not my newborn soul

Where fireflies shine lighter than the lamps

And fishes swam faster than their homes

Like trampled troubled tramps,

Then, demons also cry.

Groans and moans of pain,

Down they roam like rain

Memories sparked with flashes of feisty flare

For all that is left is nothing but darkness

Piercing the thread of our bond

That even angels dare not dare

Then, demons also cry

Here, days brimmed with sadness

To miscarriage of nights darkness

That even birds glide backward

And when asked why, we say, its nature to nurture

Conscience lye frozen in muss, has God punished us?

Que sera, sera and all go wayward,

Then, demons are also crying
