Eternal Peace
Love songs singing into my thoughts as I write another sad letter
This letter is to the one I believed was my hope and my dream come true
I thought maybe I was beginning to crawl out of this dark cave
Only to find the light were only headlights of strangers driving by
Feeling so lost and full of confusion I close my eyes
I try to block out the images of quiet streams flowing by my feet
Knowing my life has come to a crawl I lay down waiting for my true light
Not believing that my future holds anything for me but darkness
So many voices surround me but none of them talking to me
No peace and quiet can block out the cries of the forgotten
Help me, hear my voice, hold me, love me, and please don't be blind
For I need you to hear my cries as I plead with God to stop the pain
Fighting for nothing has made me feel like I am living for death
A place in heaven or hell where I'll continue to cry or feel love
Not knowing if love will ever find me I take a deep breath
I exhale for the last time as my loveless world becomes my eternal peace
