Forever Bound

Stranded on the road to nowhere Somewhere between lost and found Warmth hides its glory Behind the rain falling down Looking for the right direction As I wander farther astray Pain grips my soul My heart begins to ache I've searched every nook and cranny No help could I find My very being bleeding Emotions turned to ice Chained to the memories Better left unspoken I try to summon courage And yet, bit by bit, I'm broken Begging for understanding Yearning what was lost Trying to reconcile My actions with the cost Lonely and afraid Salvation out of reach Weary to the bone As misery invades my peace Time is the enemy Love, a fairy tale Mercy is only make believe No such thing in Hell Redeemption hides it's grace Behind agony and shame Of mistakes made in haste And sorrow for what can't be changed Forgiveness not forthcoming Anger mars the path Of love lost in foolishness And locked, forever, in the past Dead among the living Since you walked out on me Nightmares would be welcome If only I could sleep Surrounded by the memories Of the love, once, we shared Haunted by the laughter That still echoes through the air No where left to turn No joy to be found And, it seems, although your gone To you... I'm forever bound
