Forever has never been so close, but it has also never been so far.
Whoever said that life was easy, shut it out when things got hard.
The fate of the world rests on my shoulders, and in my shaking hands.
My mind is wavering, and somehow wandering, into these barren lands.
Over the hills, and far away, and into the deserts sun,
I fall behind, and watch them die, as the new day is begun.
Yet I walk on, and follow my heart, although it is empty inside.
I feel their pain, and I feel their shame, and inside myself I hide.
My eyes slowly close, and fold into themselves, because I'm dying this time.
My heart slowly cries, because I'm living a lie, and I can't find it in me to decide.
An angel falls up, and past the sky, and into the places above.
It is then I realize, that deep inside, the only thing that can save me is love.
I don't want you to see me, because I'm afraid that you won't understand.
But then you look into my eyes, and I feel the soft touch of your hand.
If I let down my guard, and the shadows take hold,
I cannot be protected by the unwanted terrors it knows.
Still, they creep up from the ground, and I soon find myself in their grasp.
All alone, I know that escaping them is no easy task.
Robbed of my sanity, my hope, and my dreams;
Abandoned, forgotten, ripped out at the seams.
I find that in each one of my fresh toxic tears,
The mistakes that I find make me remember the fears.
So a heavy heart full of nothingness, and a mind full of this;
I travel onto forever, the long forgotten abyss
