You were a sweet lost soul

that I thought my love could find

A doorway of embrace

that I wanted to make mine

 

And for awhile

the path seemed real

the feelings pure and white

 

And for awhile

I forgot

you hadn't seen the light

 

Distant now the memories are

though my wound is still yet fresh

I push away my thoughts of you

they only cause unrest

 

And through my pain

I still can see

a glimmer of yourself

And though you have set me free

I belong to no one else.

 

It would be easy

to let go

of something that was wrong

 

If, filled with bitterness

I'd cursed you from my soul

 

But sorrow is my keeper now

Regret my only friend

Hatred shies away from me

Love persists...

a shadow with no end.
