I walked in the cold street alone
Taking comfort in the glow of the street lights
I told myself that this would pass with time
And desperately wait for the healing to come
I lost myself in hazy grays
A drug induced trance
I thought I was saved then
And waited for rapture to take me home
The world was an existence forgotten
For a hair’s-breathe, I was happy
But the heart cries.
The morning sunshine slipped through the blinds
The rays became the shadows in the darkness
I turned around toward the light
To find my fantasy looking at me
A beautiful day, it said
I could have cried then
But I shut out the world that waited outside
And for a brief moment of time
I pretended that I was home
Smiling to a face that would not be there tomorrow
And the heart cries.
I looked back to the past
Where everything was filled with innocent bliss
The time has turned, since then
And I am here fighting a battle without no end
I lose whether I come out victorious or defeated
There has to be an escape door to get out of this emptiness
The pain known only to the heart
I am waiting for time to heal me
To forget a dream that became too real
To keep looking for the sunshine
And the heart still cries.
