The Sky's mandate

Friend? dear, why I call you thus?
You're not, only those like the sun I should call so,
I can only laugh, that you stay during day
When the light's out, like the day, you scamper, go

The sky, that I am, can't remain the same forever,
Come night, come day, I turn dark and bright,
Call me not yours, if you stay only during the day,
And run away, when by dark, I am engulfed at night

In lieu of Pain

Pain is the only friend that doesn't seem to want to leave me
It ensures it keeps away the nice ones from coming near me
It keeps me in a loving embrace all through day and dark night
It blows up the tunnels so I have none to see any light

My life seems to have no struggle
Unlike many that bleed in strife
No qualms I am seemingly happy, for
To struggle I don't have a life

Pain never wants me to cry for its a truly great friend
Feeds me nice dog biscuits so I don't reach the healing end
Pain feeds me day and night all that it can to see me alive
Pain breeds more of itself so there is enough for all my life

God, please take away my music
And wipe off my way with words
Why gift me best of the healers
When you can cast away the swords

God, I'll give away my music
And with that my way with words
For one that'll truly care if I live
And make me forget the swords
