Leave Heaven For Another Day

I'll leave heaven for another day

But just for the here and now today

A million plus candles and paraffin lamps 

Won't at this very moment in time

Bring or provide enough light

in order to restore back into my life 

My faith and belief

That I put and placed back on the shelf

The a one single day before

As every day before and since

As it was I thought 

Supposedly meant to be 

But never actually ended up being

Where I now find myself currently

Stuck somewhere in between

Hell and purgatory

With heaven nowhere to be seen

In plain sight
