It's been years since my last regression
Because things seemed to be going alright
No reason to be scared of the dark
No chance of being swallowed by the night

I've been feeling empty
Lantern burning its wick
The sun burns me
And the moon makes me sick

No end in sight
I walk along the sidewalk blind
Bumped into failure one evening
He seemed kind

I chose my path
Not knowing where it would lead
But it seems never ending, bending
Falling along makes me bleed

My road is red with blood
Watered down from tears

Feel your breath on my skin
Flowing through goosebumps akin
To single treetops on hills
Your single touch feels
Iridescent

I feel in colours abound
I breathe in waves of sound
My heartbeat mimics my feeling
It has me kneeling
At your feet

I wish to feel all of you
To know your depths true
To feel what you are
See you for the first time
Anew

The smell of you still lingers
Like sand slipping through my fingers
Slowly it fades away
How I wish it would stay
To remind me of you

I taste regret of my past
Feelings that should never last
I taste the shadows I cast
They taste so vast
Could you shine through

Could you help me
Set my limits free
Make me a new person
Reborn in your arms

I have lived a timid life
Fueled by my weakness
Buried by my fear
Killed by doubt

And I see those around me
Scars telling tales
Lengthy stories of loss and fear
And I can't help

I can't relate
My life has been without
And I feel helpless
Weak in the face of true cruelty

Why has life dealt these cards
To those so undeserving
These beautiful cracked portraits
Filled with potential

Leaking out sadness
Only through cracks
They radiate smiles
But I only see the sadness instead

I want to reach out my hand
Take theirs in mine
But I am not enough
I will become enough
