II. The Road of Change
The phone has stopped ringing
Tears are fast on my cheeks
A heart cannot beat
When her blood will not move
It is cold and desolate here
In this empty place of death
Yet the life continues
Dazed, I walk this lonely road
Rocks trip me, it is dark
Where is the light I once followed?
Gone, without a hug good-bye
Leaving me to eat my flesh
Bitter taste this rotting corpse
I struggle to move
To forget what I once had
To diminish what I once loved
Find a new light, a new soul
But trying is useless
Rocks hit me and blood flows
Yet the pain is nothing to compare
Pain in my body from the absence of light
Darkness to drift me without thoughts
Like a robot without the control box
Alone, walking in circles
Understanding clears my mind
You were never my light
You never loved me
Face the truth with a stoic breast
Yet tears continue, inward and out
Must be strong to face you
Must be strong to let you go
Must be strong to say good-bye
Must be strong not to turn
And run back to your pity
Move on I must, go on I can't
You have stolen my life
Every thought is of you
How it would feel to touch your face
How I would sigh when we make love
How I sould shudder when you speak my name
How I would love you, if you loved me.
