I’m faded in ways
Cue the shame
And no, drugs are not to blame
Caught up in a daze
My soul ripped from me leaving me empty
Nothing left but a void that’s screaming
But no one can hear in a vacuum
Is it too late for a wasteland to heal?
Searching for a former glory that never was
Now all that’s left is the next hit for a temporary buzz
Now back again at square one
What to do when everything is so wrong?
Trapped in a cycle in which I will never belong
What is the meaning in a world without soul?
Perhaps it’s in the same place where mine may be
Where love is weak and fear is stronger
Sometimes I wonder why I even bother
Perhaps I’m dead
Trapped in the limbo inbetween
Peering in on all the beautiful things I cannot reach
A place of stunning souls
There I could see yours shining brightest
I may not be able to reach, but I am not yet blind
My sight reaching farther than where I’m confined
With an inhale I may tremble
An exhale I may fall weak
My legs unable to carry
Yet my arms will pull me to you
I’ll give you my labored breaths
Perhaps they will give you what they never could give me
For in you I find my soul again
Every word and every touch pulling me back together
Even at the seams once weathered
Thinking my tears left me drained when they filled an abundant ocean instead
Thinking I crashed the seas alone when you were the wind that carried through my sails
With every caress traced a road map of every part of you I conquered
Every whispered word a verse of a song while I could not hear the music
Perhaps not all things must come to an end
For our embrace shall be imprinted into eternity
Perhaps not all stolen is lost
You showed me the way back home as you dragged us along
In the emptiness and cold lies a flame that will one day expand
Reaching the end of a chapter we found the rest of the story.
