Breathless

I stand amongst the shadows where the light and dark divide In a struggle for my sanity Pandora's box has opened wide Madness calls me forward whilst defiance holds me back Am I just another wanderer who falls between the cracks One forgotten breath tipped the scales of my defense To the court of justice here present, I let slip the veil of my pretense Inside stirs turmoil, confusion and pain Outside I drown in the tears of rain Breath once forgotten, the heart missed a beat Into solitude and loneliness went forth my retreat Scared of the promise, afraid of denial Love are you my friend or my deadliest rival? Breath, one, forgotten not gone Breathing in courage, I know you are the one Strength come to settle, find a home in my soul Rebirth of belief out of depths of unwhole Forgotten one breath, do I remember to breathe Do I stay and fight for this beauty Or crumble to pieces and leave Do I relight the fire of the flame I blew out One forgotten breath stirs within me And cries let me out
