Where The End Begins
Where The End Begins
I wouldn't want your love for me to change
To speak or not to speak is the question
Truth can be a dangerous force to reckon with
More-so if it reflected in your eyes
Forgiveness is divine but where's the fine line
Between here and divinity
This is unexplored territory
With no signs pointing which way to go
It's been forever and a day on this road
Whether moving fast or taking it slow
I'll find out where it goes when I get there
If I make it in one piece
That is not a guarantee
I feel broken already right now
And if I returned, how would you look at me
Gone so long that your absence hurts
The pain inside is sustained by my anguish
The same wound opening over and over again
More blood falls with every breath I give away
No apology is sufficient enough for my downfalls
All I can say is I'm sorry for letting you down
And separating myself from you
Turning something beautiful into something so ugly
Acceptance is the hardest part of conquering denial
Walking among the ruins I'm trying to rebuild
One crumbling stone at a time
Left with only a weak leg to stand on
Forward is the only way
Counting the raindrops in a downpour
Oblivious to the puddle forming around my feet
Deeper and deeper it gets while I stare into the clouds
Praing to the Heavens for a miracle to change this situation
To make it home before I planned
And meet you again for the first time
Waiting to leave for too many days and then some
Confined in one place with only the thought of you
Stuck in the mud that's now up to my knees
Expecting the worst but I'm begging you please
Set me free and I'll come back to you
To give you all I am and begin life anew
Just as a phoenix rises from the ashes
The past is not a permanent definition
None of my mistakes define who I am
It's not black and white but they fail to see the gray
Though the printed words will make it seem that way
One description tries to categorize the many differences
Cutting the tension with a knife and it's breaking the blade
The potential for disaster remains as a possibility
The bond is shaken but never broken
Nobody can dig deep enough to change that
Fear is a manipulative tool used against us
The unknown crushes like a ton of bricks
Reluctant to move any piece in this game of chess
I can't explain this any way but a filthy fucking mess
Inside this mind of mine it's chaotic
Taking time to breathe helps it all meet in the middle
Wherever that is, who the fuck knows at this point
Nobody has an answer, not that I'm looking for one
On the other side of this agony a pleasure must exist
I hope some day I can find it
