Drunk on the anticipation of desire
Burning in the wanton flames of lost innocence
Soul lost to the fires of your stolen youth
Few have come to understand
Fingertips seared into your skin for eternity
Carried from life to life
Sheltered in dark corners of the mind
No matter how light your life may be
New longings, fresh beginnings
The only source of hope you hold
To remind you the past is gone
Buried in the debris of decades passed
Reactions change, expectations don't
Hearts beat, break and still yearn
Through pain, loss, desire has been the only constant
When it fades, you will cease to live
