I Never Wanted

by NineteenMinutes   Feb 8, 2011


I've never believed in much,
But I believed in you,
When you left me here alone,
Whatever faith I had spare from childhood faded,
That much is true,
The world was unjust and cruel.

It has been three years now,
And slowly faith returns,
The world once again has reason,
My eyes open for the first time burn.

I was lost in the darkness,
Afraid of my voice,
And my ability to change my own circumstances,
Paralyzed by control,
Intimidated by the choice.

I never wanted to watch you leave,
I never wanted to say goodbye,
But now I know I have to raise my voice,
Be heard,
I never wanted to,
But I have to try.
