The Ballad of Maddish

Of strangers filling voids
Created by the ones most trusted,
Some brought forth as lives entwined -
Into the darkness, into the light,
A bond forged, inhibitions set aside,
Unbound by blood, guided by love -
Madness personified!
Of this stronger love filling voids
Till there weren't any left,
They set off, towards the woods,
Into the deepest end, where the sun never set,
The light never dimmed,
Cautiously they'd chosen -
Knowing the light here came from within.
