Esperanza

Esperanza (S)

(A lone voice whispers)

I'll always miss you, and all the crazy little things we used to do

But now like a faded white sculpture painted black

Our Time together ran out and all I can do is react and inside scream

For there's no going back to that

The games 
The embraces with me bending the knee for my one and only queen 

But we all have a choice 

So I'll pick up my tarnished name from the wet dirt of hurt

Brush it off with the wet brush of hope and 
Take it back to my new home to help me cope

For knowing what I now know 

There's no going back
Now I've been painted black and classed as unholy 

And have suffered enough
So all I can do is take each day slowly

Singing this melody
Sending out my souls call

Oh,

Only a new love can help heal this fall
