Clarity

So what if we started anew? Forgot about all of the pain we’ve put each other through Maybe then we could learn to see the beautiful things we were made to be Like two sparrows who just fell in love But I’m no song bird, I’m not your dove I was your crutch and you were mine And we were just shadows this whole damn time Our souls have been aching to be set free So I said I hated you, but I meant to say me See I’ve been lost in this world so torn Not sure if I was made only to be born What’s my purpose, my place on this rock? But with you, I felt meaning, an electrical shock I wanted to save you But what I just couldn’t see… The darkness hadn’t engulfed you, the darkness Was me So I took a few trips around the sun Only to discover, life had just begun Begun anew, but without my friend My love My songbird For you, I send Now I’m sitting in an alley covered in grime The sun does not show its usual shine I laugh. I cry. But there is no meaning Without you, my soul is bleeding I’m bleeding until there’s nothing left Nothing to live for, only regret… I must flee this place before I’m no more Nothing but empty Someone else’s chore I want no pity, no sympathy please Not your shoulder I won’t fall again to my knees The moon shines brightest on the darkest night Lighting the way, leading my fight I follow it My heart pounds in my chest I need anything but to rest I am a songbird I am a dove But I have found something new to love The chances I have been given… This life. My life It can be better I must end this strife And then there is sun It shines once more I feel its glow I know its warmth I see my shadow and it sees me The darkness is gone I am finally Free
