I was born to hide
Head drawn to the ground
Hair covering my face
A useless cog in the human race
Didn't want to know you
Didn't care to look inside myself
I wasn't worthy to be your groom
I barely made a decent pauper
With loose change in my pocket
Searching for a missing girl
With only her mother's locket as a guide
Nothing but good intentions riding
On a soul deemed bankrupt
With all my meager artificats
And a few frozen nightmares
Stuffed inside a suitcase shopping
For a new home where I wasn't
An unknown commodity
Without a mocking voice in tow
Chanting: Why even leave?
It's already been said...

Time passes so slowly
Waiting to be free
Longing for you to jump
In these arms
And tell me it's all
Been a dream
If it were that simple...

You've turned my existence upside down
Thus given me a reason to break
My vow of silence with a faint whisper
Let the blinds be drawn
Finally...
The sunshine can heal my aching bones
It's beautiful to be reborn
I'm eternally grateful for the joy
You've brought to the weariness of man
With a fondest hope that indeed
I can love again...

Yearn to hear your soothing voice
To ground these tulmultous waves
Of nervous energy that desire
To kiss every inch of your soul
And hold you tight beneath
The transcedent moon
Listening intently to each heartbeat.

Yet reality insists I wait my turn
Oh, the fires burn ravenously inside!
This little boy is filled with uncertainty
And must learn to let the river flow on its own
Thus accept it will enjoin with the sea eventually.

Maybe...
