Under the stars upon the wind

The past can never be mended
but yet determination is strong
The gods I have foolishly offended
But who am I to admit I was wrong....

I have not loss the battle yet
through the night I struggle on
I wipe from my eyes stinging sweat
for in this life I am but a pawn

The sound of my steps engulf me
Fog slowly creeps into my mind
I want so much to turn and flee
but I am scared of what I may find

Uncertainty follows my every move
paranoia has started its attack
I thought I had something left to prove
but faith is something I lack.

Bloodied and bruised are my hands
Tired and worn is my heart
once more I trip on the rooted land
For we are all merely mortals from the start.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown
