Once Was'
I Need to see the light again, enter into a new style of living.
There has to be a place where I can go to hide, and run from all that I have inside.
Cycles have taken over my soul, made me vulnerable to those around me.
I chase the night into nothing, I run from life over hills and prairies.
I come to where there once was eternal bliss, to shatter my own hope.
I see where my heart lay; I see how my torment began.
Skills nonetheless created unequal, matters made to offer dearest feelings.
I have fallen before! Only to rise and take what is mine and loved.
I have been blind, only to open my eyes and see where I was going.
Lost has my destiny been for days on end, found is my eternal spirit.
I walk to the desolate dessert of my end, to create the chamber of my being.
Death has called me, reminding me of my nearing end.
Life has denied me, telling me it will not wait.
Still is my heart, alive is nothing within me.
Taken from me is all my energy and breathe, away with all of what I once was.
As I walk into the caged doom, I see white shadows of whom I once knew.
I see faces and remember laughs, only to feel lonely and without love.
The one true friend carries one rose in her hand.
For only she has seen my terror and only she understands.
The blue that shines from this blossom, the star that gleams from her smile.
Takes me back to when I knew her, shows me life with her.
This one memory makes it all worth the time, makes my life complete.
For she was once my heart, and for now onto eternity this she shall keep.
