Struggle

Primal, basal, beyond my awareness How could I have been so careless I let the line between real and fantasy Become clouded through my jealousy The fire rose, consumed, burned away And left the ashes in its wake I still search for just one burning ember To reawaken feelings of forever But destruction is all around I fall to my knees, hit the ground Can you hear me scream? Blatant, cold, and calculating Every part of this wrapped up in hating The one who did this thing to me Imprisoned when I was set free The water rises, to wash away All the promises we once made If still one ember ever burned It burns no more, lesson learned Still destruction is all around And I can’t lift myself from off the ground Can you see me cry? Detached, impartial, contemplating Why am I here, why am I waiting Just what am I waiting for A broken window, an open door A key to tell me who I am So I can learn to live again Without the fear, without regret To bring back balance and pay the debt To clear debris from hallowed ground Unchained, but broken, I am bound Can you feel my battle?
