You say to release the inner dam of anguish and
Heartache, but what happens when it is more than you or I could bear?
If I do allow these feelings of mine to take hold
Of my unsteady smile, might they finally snuff out my inner
Light as they so hope to do?
Would there be a match's flame to guide me
Home, or would I forever be lost amongst
My broken heart and shattered dreams?
I am not strong, nor have I ever been,
So how can I stand on these legs as I pour
Out the remains of a torn soul
To the very center of my universe?
I just have to try.
I look up into a sky that is
Black as pitch, no stars or moon
Visible to my teary eyes;
Its darkness giving lonely emptiness a whole
New meaning.
Where is that match's flame? The one
To lead me back home, back to you.
It is so dark in this mind of mine that
I am having a hard time
Finding my way out to you and
Your warm, loving arms.
