Yesterdays and Tomorrows
I ask you now is this my plight
I cry out to you all through the night
My tears run dry, my heart still stings
My soul seeks solace but no peace it brings
Words expensive hang in the air
They wound so deeply,
The air so thick
On the thorn of a rose
Did my finger prick
A drop of blood from innocence lost
Can't be regained no matter the cost
Is this my lot to live and die
To find no comfort when I cry
To seek with all that is within
And know I must begin again
A brave new world
A hard new truth
A past that I will never elude
