Lost Within a Memory - Novena

In growing near, I hear the scream

Thought I’d forgotten when they set him free

He sheds a tear, and now he seems

As if he was before me once again

A second that seemed to have lasted for a lifetime

If only I’d given him all he deserved

I never thought I’d see you falling from me

I can see the fading light in your eyes, drifting out of sight

Shift contingent sights — Reawaken life

Seek to justify this false pretence

My duties at miss — Will I withstand this calling?

Feel the ground restore your body

To a point before this story

Bring the child into the hall

He has a second chance to fall

I never thought I’d see you falling from me

I can see the fading light in your eyes, drifting out of sight
