TO LIVE AGAIN
In the dark of the night
In the thin hours of the morning
Alone with my thoughts
Alone with the burden
I’ve been here before
Now I lie alone
I’ve seen myself die
Do I have the strength to live again
Should I think only of myself
Or do you wish this of me too
I don’t know what to do
I feel myself shaking
To live once again
Are they my dreams
Or my nightmares
Or just one in the same
Do I plunge in again
Throw my ashes to the wind
Let the sea cleanse my soul
Wash one life away
Continue in another
It is mine to take
It is yours to give
Do I take the chance
Is it there to begin with
Do I have the strength to live again
Will I feel it happen
I just dream of something
In a hope that will never come
I just dread of something
In a hope that it is going to come
I hold my breath
I can breathe again
Anticipation of my only prayer
Please, I hold my breath
Let me live again
I am cold
I am alone
I am alive
To my knowledge
I breathe
Lost to all the lessons I have learned
I must learn again
I am alive
Though the ones that I love
The faces I knew
Drift passed me unfeeling
The memories are mine
I do not recall
They elude me
Though my presence
I feel is real
In the dark of the night
In the thin hours of the morning
Alone with my thoughts
Alone with the burden
I’ve been here before
Do I have the strength to live again
