Sometime along the way...

Sometime along the way all seemed lost,
to rebuild it all - a fortune it would cost.
Tossing and turning in my sleep,
finding a way for this burden to relieve.

Somewhere along the path it was emptiness only found,
looking around - despair and past tragedies lay in a mound.
It's hard to forget or move along.
thinking back I was so sure in this place I belong.

I felt that life had a reason for me to be alive,
maybe all that was said was actually a lie.
Wandering along a path that seems so vast,
no advice - only deadly shadows be cast.

I once had a reason to be in this place,
I really no longer felt I was a disgrace.
I turned around and saw your face,
within your eyes only shone distaste.

How could I be like everyone you see?
I'm not perfect, I'm just me...
Maybe it's just not good enough these days,
maybe seclusion in life really pays.

I really hate it when you say you miss me,
when the truth is such you just hate me.
I was bound to you for eternal life,
I really wish I had got closer to the knife.

If memories could fade,
eternal paths would erase,
all pain would cease,
the past would be locked by those hidden keys.

It's not insanity or uncertainty,
but the ways of morality.
It's this way of life that's just too harsh,
the way people continue to drift apart.

It's dependence upon others that just doesn't pay,
it's the deception from people that led all a stray.
It's their words that felt like God's own work,
but it's only bad intentions that would lurk.

What images would be portrayed,
why to others do we fall prey?
God said to all to give respect,
but all only care to reject.

Maybe you were right that this would never last,
I guess it was only a fool's word that was cast.
The truth is such that everyone is the same,
it's just reality to live in constant pain.
