Splintered soul

by Janice Norman   May 13, 2008


I stand in this place where nothing is bright,
Be away from all this I may never or might,
My mirror of hope has gone forever
Now heartache and sadness is what I endeavour

Shards of hope they did destroy,
They took my dreams and all my joy
Remember their words â??have no fearâ??
I say them now through a silent tear

I might have been saved, I loved the most
Now all that is left is my absent ghost
Why do they say that past is past?
When they all know all along it wonâ??t ever last

They splintered my soul took my life away,
Though life being this means Iâ??d rather not stay
Look up and beyond see the cattle grazing
I see it now, that life could be amazing

But all this confusion and lack of desire
Has dampened my spirit and weakened my fire
Love is a circle that will never end
But merciless souls it refuses to mend

Some need drugs and the dying need health
Some need laughter and the empty need wealth
What do you need? They say to me
It has no price; itâ??s what you canâ??t see

Sweet is a newborn and the angels above
But sweeter than these is the true gift of love
My hope and trust that forever do break
Eternal reminders of my simple mistake

But when He looks heâ??ll see Iâ??m true
And so Heâ??ll ask and Iâ??ll say I do
Take my hand smile down at me,
Whisper the words that forever Iâ??m free

Then Away I will go to the place thatâ??s bright
Iâ??ll pay with my life, which doesnâ??t seem right.
So now Iâ??m in heaven but why do I cry?
Because I loved them so and never said bye
I loved them so they made me die
But what hurts the most and ensures Iâ??ll cry?
Itâ??s that I loved them so and ever knew why
