I am just sorry

Bound by these chains, I fell to the ground
If only enough; by the love of the sound
Remember the skies back when feelings were found
Between the past and the current surround

So I call back the oceans
To tame all the seas
Betrayed by the sting of my memories

Holding this line, I see mistakes are made in black and white
So stays these actions, while I fold like home
It seemed like mere hours that I'd see her alone.

Feelings were never unsure
But her in the void
I found love like sinking a ship, while sharks circle above

In the deepest of sea won't you swim out with me

You see we we're drowning within

So see behind this mask while I'm left here alone.
The most unholy task

So tell me my love, what fire could last?
I'm so sorry

If only my fire could get past the quiet before the light.
This is when the real strength and creation of life, could live beyond my path... but now...

I am just sorry—

Could feel the deep emotional pull to facing the tormoil- could hear it, A.S.
