My heart I gave, my life I lost, the past can’t be undone.
My dreams dissolved, my hope vanquished like night in midday sun.

To travel far, to run from what was passed, my fate unfurled
To try and rediscover love within this unjust world.

To find the man that once did breathe inside this hollow shell,
Relearn once more the fortitude that led me out of Hell.

To seek the vein from which did flow what cannot be explained.
The essence of what few are shown and even less do gain.

To spend time in shared merriment, with laughter amongst friends
And not privately seek the trice where life would forthwith end.

Where once more with my heart I’ll see and colours I will hear.
Where memories hold no ill remorse and sleep no more I’ll fear.

Again once more be free to feel a love inside me grow
And plant the seeds from which my dreams may find the strength to grow.

Within the arms of one so strong she’ll never let me go
And fight for me with all her might through all that we may know.

To greet that day that comes again on which I will be blessed.
Where freed from exile I will be and earn my final rest.

Drifting with the ocean winds whichever way they turn
And ride the crashing waves of foaming green as they do churn.

All this I pray each night as I again do greet the dark
When silence falls upon my heart and low my soul remarks.

The man once was does beckon me to break free from this bind
And take up where I once left off and leave myself behind.
