Since I Fell Away
today marks six months
since i fell away
what seemed impossible at first
only gets easier each day
loosening my grip
on the hands of my past
that refuses to hold me
so i give up at last
i've forgotten yesterday
i'm ignoring tomorrow
just holding on to the present
and letting go of the sorrow
if you asked, i'd say i wouldn't know
how i manage to sleep at night
having heard myths of all the misery
i see, now, it's not so bad, i'm alright
and now it's time for bed
blank, empty, & cold
the days of my dreaming
are now days of old
