From here I go

I have felt the love of the ages,

on my fingertips knew true lust.

Fallen away from forever,

and kissed passion with love.

I have seen the reflection of pain,

forging my heart deeper light.

Knew what it was to be wanted,

understood why I had to fall.

I have become who I am just to know,

why one has to hurt to see.

Faced my demons with fire,

been brought to my knees in agony.

In these waters of forever,

there have been things I can’t explain.

Making my way to discover,

what death and life see in me.

There was always a reason for this time,

each passing moon speaking clear.

Torn apart by dreams of tomorrow,

waking up alone in my bed.

I have found many ways to be free,

yet my memories haunt my heart.

Forsaken by friends lest my sorrow,

takes me home again tonight.

I have never known what this meant,

how life can change in a day.

From here I go to live out my love,

in the only arms able to hold on.
