Do you know what it’s like to feel
be free cross the line between dreams or reality
you see what I feel before I know myself
holding the box containing the key to my heart

And now I stand before a mirror framed in gold
painted with watery waterfalls refreshing my image as it glows
seeing myself as should of been before temptation lashed at me
inside lays the broken child afraid to stand and talk amongst you all
held down by voices that holds me back from those I desire

Oh why don’t you join me in this mirror dearest
even if death holds your name memories stand before my eyes
let our broken children run wild together as we hold voices down in adulthood
but in this life broken pieces fall and hide behind the world that lies
smashed upon the floor no magic mirror holds you no mirror nomore

I’ve walked the fine line across your beauty craved form
touched all that you own been places we shared kisses
but one place holds me the most hours spent lingering amongst flowers
and a gravestone our child and you buried beneath my feet

But beside me you sit I know I feel your hand upon mine
and the baby crying in my mind I’ll never let go or leave you behind
for I hold the box that once held me I now hold the key to let go
still my grave will be next to yours dearest hand in hand we will stroll

Along the heavens or in the ground choose believe or not believe
For in the end hand in hand we will still stroll onwards
Touching the hearts of the familys missed and missing us
life does go on death is the rest we all wish and long

The depth of emotion expressed here is very heartfelt.  Well done.
