Lost And Unfound

Running away from mesmerizing flames
Catching herself, she backs off before it's too late
Been there before, wouldn't be there again
Lifts up her face, wondering if she's done herself right
Bites her tongue, looks back at his burning face
Convinces herself, this time, there will be an end

Searching for a face among strangers
Hoping one will fill the cracks of her heart
She bends and breaks till there's nothing left

Stumbling, she's face to face with a barren forest
Trudging on, she refuses to turn back
In her mind, she plays movies of her pain
Remembering how he would always be there
Now to have thrown her aside for another
She claws at herself, hoping to remove the stains

Looks around for people she thought she knew
How they've been reduced to less than few
Begs for the life she never thought he would steal

Final Acceptance

Stumbling down these streets
My heart is naked
My heart is raw
Ignoring all my needs
My soul is famished
Your words impure

I'm walking on a thread
Chasing ghosts in my head
Because the feeling's dead

Please fill the cracks in my heart
I plead you
I need this
Then loneliness and I can part
Loveliness
Forever

Burnt from the fire
I'm running to you
Don't turn away
Innermost desires
Too long neglected
They've been rejected

Peel away charred remains
Enter unbound domains
Erase all battered stains

I am freezing in the cold
Dragging my ruptured soul
Looking for belonging
But if you'll take me in
I'll be warmed to the skin
Melting in my bones
