Raven's confession I am enigmatic and shrouded in time, I wonder about pain which hurts as though mine- I hear silent pleas to end what’s denied, I see agony’s edge creeping across pain defied- I want to end agony that’s both yours and mine, I am enigmatic and shrouded in time- I pretend I can’t feel your pain, I feel your eyes on my back- I touch the barbs we share, I worry for strength I lack- I want to end your painful thirst, Shrouded and clearing in time- I understand what you yourself won’t acknowledge, I say unspoken words, I touch unseen age- I try to feel pain that’s mine and mine alone, I hope for relief, I am not made of stone.
