Break Free

Searched all my life
Through every pain-staking strife
Finding “her” seen only in dreams.
Since I was a small child
I would go the extra mile
Praying one day she would find me.

As time went by
I realized life drug me dry
Totally drained of hopes and dreams.
What if it is “her” I find?
Will I still be in the right frame of mind
To once again trust a love towards me?

Traumatized by my ex-wife
Through infidelity and lies
I am finding it hard to break free
I need to realize
That there WILL come a time
For a chance at a new beginning.
