_**From the darkness of the shadows  
Where the demons lurk in waiting  
Lies an abyss of nothingness  
That traps Hope behind steel grating.**_

_**Hope had become an exhibit  
In a zoo of lost dreams. They cried  
With fur soaked in the blood of Faith  
Who had been hunted down untried.**_

_**What felt of an eternity  
Had doubt filled my lungs to the brim.  
To the brim with a burning air  
That fed my soul with thoughts so grim.**_

_**Thoughts so grim one would never see  
The light that shines from the sun bright.  
The eyes lose sight of anything  
That could radiate colors. Light**_

_**T'was a memory; nothing more.  
As shadows danced with the light  
Forming figures that one could read.  
Then those shadows formed a sight**_

_**That bore the name [iRenia](%5C).  
Who knew that the shadows could make  
Such a lovely contrast with light  
To form an image for my sake.**_

_**Her shadow is what forms a light  
That had brightened my soul once more.  
[She](%5C) freed my hope with [her](%5C) image.  
And so I love her evermore.**_
