Changed

Did you see the fire last night?
I swear the heavens were aflame
I closed my eyes and stepped outside
And softly called your name
Listen to the crocus sway
That low and distant buzz
The past seems so impossible
And maybe dear it was
Do you believe that I have changed?
Can you believe?
Yes I know you’re always there
To watch my every step
I guess the news my heart is true
Just hasn’t reached you yet
With springtime came the heavy rains
To cleanse this stinking earth
A succubus fell on my lap
My word it lost its worth
Do you believe that I have changed?
Can you believe?
Everyone is capable
Of deeds unclean and dark
Truth and light were lost to me
I played the villain’s part
I dug a hole and climbed inside
My mind was sick with doubt
But now I want to live again
Beware I’m crawling out
Do you believe that I have changed?
Can you believe?
For I cannot
