Return of Sanity
“Return of Sanity”
Fighting back tears as I try to say good bye, not seeing what I’m trying to say
Catching my breath between sobs, grasping for air to breathe into my lungs
Staring into the darkness that surrounds you and I searching for a familiar face
Life has never felt so lonely without you as I feel standing before you now as you look away
After so much time spent together laughing, loving, breathing the same air
So many nights cuddled together just speaking of what’s to come
So many plans left undone as I watch you walk away from us
Lonely, so lonely, once again I fall to my knees in prayer begging for answers
Like the gray moth flying in the night screaming out as it flies into the electric light
I am left walking into the darkness staring at the light before me
Praying this light is shining just for me but feeling as if it’s my light to Heaven
I scream in the puddle of pain you’ve left me in to survive the water that surrounds me
Please hear my voice as I cry for you into the empty cloudy sky
No stars are shining now as the star I wished upon has left me secluded
Lost in the vast empty space I reach out for a hand to pull me into an angel’s arms
I fall to the floor of where we once walked hand in hand screaming for the return of sanity
