The legacy of hurt br Transcends the bleeding heart br To the apprehension of step br In the forlorn shadows of pain br As lips gone bitter br By the taste of rejection br Stutters in footpaths of destiny br A wounded soldier bearing a flickering torch br In the murky battlefields of love br As the procreation of love stolen br Metamorphoses the leaping heart br To a restless craven br Once bitten, twice shybr br Dilantha Gunawardanabr br
