blind me to the horizon

154 35 1
                                    

Alone with the shadows I cast

No father, no mother

No brothers, no sisters to swell

The house full with laughter.

Nothing but loneliness and grief

And the rubble of months, the years

Bend my back, slow my steps, blind me to the horizon.
