The Cold Awaits

The Cold Awaits A pale image left fading in my thoughts of you are all I have remaining to get me through to face the fear of what I am forced to do I delivered myself here by fate it’s true an attempt to escape myself and not allowing negativity to break through life’s hard decisions are always faced alone Each breath I take leaves my heart in doubt of the path I walk and the ones I care about leave no one behind and nothing incomplete be true to yourself and protect loved ones from defeat Hold true to your integrity, show pride, love and stability be a leader and embrace the shortcomings of others as a reality give more of yourself than others expect to see this is the way to success and the way it should be Are the ones around you there to dig your grave or celebrate the life you’ve made the truth is the one thing you should never trade for an easy road out of what lies have betrayed love is the power of honesty and served best when you care too much open your heart to the chance to be hurt and allow another to offer their touch to care for another more than you care for your own heart is what the spirit of honesty and true love are all about The lyrics and rhymes all the words are all well known and so old they are the words we all know so well truth be told a heart filled with happiness and love will hold your soul in the end and protect you from the cold
