Cold sunset

I came to the horizon alone

She said don’t look back, gaze ahead

For in the past lies nothing but chill in your bones

I faltered for a second but then took a stride

The tears dried on my face, caked with sand

Pleasure melted away, washed by dying pride

 

Here’s to a new life, a morning awash with virgin dew

I am cold, starting my simple story anew

 

She said just let go of these ties that bind you in vain

The soul is not designed to be fettered

I thought it was too late to break free, so intense the pain

My emotional sea grounded to a halt, a shadow of its past

The links were deceptive, etched in a mirage of weakness

Foolish me, to think they were here to forever last

 

Here’s to a new life, a morning awash with virgin dew

I am cold, starting my simple story anew

Here’s to a new life, a morning awash with virgin dew

I am cold, starting my simple story anew

 

Call me now, for the inner voices echo like thunder against these walls

The sorrow leapt out of my being but clings to the enshrouding façade
