what caused Me to wake this night
was it the whispering in the dark
from the foot of my bed
the silent screams I hear
the chill of loneliness creeping further into my soul
or the betrayal that laid my heart bare
trust,
love,
wonder,
truth,
compassion,
imagination
innocents
all characteristics that are inherently born unto the child
that will fall to the side of the road of life
there once was a child of light and spirit wild
dragged thru the gates of the living hell
words once uttered in anger never die
the broken hearted bleed
while tortured souls cry
in the ashes of my heart lay the smoldering embers
of desire
the remnants of the fiery passions which burned within me
oh tread softly upon this heart of mine
for tucked away in those fragile chambers
lay not only the power of love
but my weakness and demise as well
my ticket to hell
what caused Me to wake this night
was it the whispering in the dark
from the foot of my bed
the silent screams I hear
or the chill of loneliness creeping further into my soul
or the betrayal that laid my heart bare
