Living in a realm of broken dreams
Broke the silence with terrored screams
Scarred, alone in that chasm so dark
Tears melting my lamented heart
I reached out to find no one there
Trapped forever and no one cared
So crying I faced the dark on my own
Knowing I must be miles from home
How did I get here, and where was I going
No one knew nor did I
I sat there shaking, waiting to die
Reality sunk, no hope was in reach
For even my prayers were dried up as leaves
Frail, I feared to love again
Scars remained of where I've been
Through all my brokenness and all that has become
I knew love was the only one
Who could save me from myself
Oh, but why couldn't have been someone else
If love is God's most greatest gift
Then there must have been a trait I missed
For love has led me toward nowhere
Except to pain and despair
That is why with you I hesitate to try
If failed again I'd surely die
But something new appeared on your face
Not a sallow deception full of disgrace
But a trace of love I never knew
Maybe because I was supposed to find it in you
Now by distance we are torn apart
Just remember you will always have my heart
And someday, together, I'll be with you
The rest of my life and long after that too!
