Turning towards a sign

by Matthias L. - Capricorn

Turning to a fallen soul
Thinking one has just to care
But is it really just the fear
Of losing one that's lost it all
Or is it the super-conscious desire

To witness all
To savour it
The smell and taste of sheer destruction
That doesn't touch
That doesn't feed

Turning to a fallen soul
Putting a blanket over its old wounds
But still it's bleeding
Still it's in need

Of a seer to see through
A wiseman to understand
A shoulder to lean on
When all the dreams are gone

But I am none of this
I just provide the signs
And try to give the right directions
By placing them just right

There's no more I can do
And caring not enough
Is the very thing I fear
When turning to a fallen soul
