Aloof

Here is a testament, a story of love shared
She assumed, ‘…freely received, freely give’,
But, was it enough to go around?
Hand me two loaves and five fishes!

Here is the melody of yap yap yap,
A cover song for deep-seated hate
Now tell me who believes in fate,
For what goes around, surely do come around

Hear them speak in muffled tones
‘She loved the one and rugged another’,
Was she drugged?
See! Sleepwalks with such frantic pace

Here is a dream with a moral punch
Not as much as sweet as last night’s wish
A quick blow as the eyes blink
Why must conscience suffer for sins of abundant grace?

Yeah, someone's been scribbling, you definitely should pick up too. The inspiration came i think, from a story and a string of dreams.
