Walking along this unknown path
Destruction all around
Voices hurling words so cruel,
crushing every hopeful sound.
Stumbling down the littered road
Strewn with pain and despair
Passing those I though I knew
They turned away like I wasn’t there.
Fog so thick, closing in
Don’t know where I’m going
Scrambled directions to where I’ve been
No friend in sight – emptiness keeps growing.
All alone…no warmth…so cold
Waiting for a human touch
Do I need to beg for a little time?
Is that too bold? Is that too much?
When I come back this way again
Will you still turn your eyes away?
Are you afraid to see my pain and
wish I’d go away?
Can you see it? Does it show?
…my bleeding broken heart?
Desperate to feel the sun’s healing glow
Searching for the way to make a new start.
