When,Where,Why
Dark have been my dreams of late
Far, too far has been heavens gate.
"With all my heart no" I turn often away.
As I embark on this unsure path will you stay?
As I stagger, just to be, and give in to the pain:
Can I trust you?
Can I believe you'll remain?
Lost has been my soul in these days.
Nothing could warm me,
even summer's rays,
"I wish none of this had happened" I cry.
As I twist and turn asking when, where, why?
As I face the truth, can you strengthen me?
Can I hold onto you, as my friends around me flee?
Weak: my heart beats in the here and now.
Triumph I feel, before even taking final bow.
"Freeeeeedoommmm" I can now shout,
as I unsheathe the truth knowing it packs clout,
as I hurtle toward the enemy singing his doom.
Can I unleash this strength of yours in my gathering gloom?
