As my world crumbles all around me
I search for answers lying within
What a fool I've been to not have seen
What once was mine, the love she gave.
~
And so I bare the pain of an unwanted life
The birth of mind broken down in pieces
This infliction of my misery
My body lives but my heart and soul I've cheated.
~
Never again will I know such love
Such emotion only once could I find
Now in detachment, I'm drifting away
Execution for my blindness but I've been granted a stay.
~
I can't carry on this self-injustice
Time feels so ripped and torn
Dreams, all my everything
Tears, closer to the end of mourn.
~
Age is upon me, I live and learn
There's a light out there at every turn
What a fool I've been to not have seen
What is mine, the love she gives.
