To find what would heal, to lose things unreturned;
To love with your heart – with your head, never learn.
To warm at a fire that never will burn;
Searching for lessons that one time were spurned.
To struggle to breathe in the darkest of water,
Crying so hard at night that you cannot see after.
Bleeding out in the dark – going nowhere better;
Your only choice is to live and remember.
Broken in pieces, will your heart ever mend?
You hurt so much – will this life ever end?
Can anyone hear the message you send?
Can you hold on some more – what's left to defend?
Watching a clock that will never turn back,
Fending off calls and countless attacks
From the dark of the night – despair runs the rack;
Is it too much to hope that your life you will lack?
Breathing in life in the darkest of water,
Cradled by hope that love will come after
The heartache and pain of what was once lost -
That what you have gained comes not at great cost.
AN: Inspired by Kythe42's music videos about Henry Morgan (obviously). I think specifically 'Forever Flares', but I can't remember... Thank you so much for taking the time to read this! Gramercy, and God bless you!
