Human Drama

The Battle

Human Drama


Should I remember so well days gone by 
I wonder what it would take 
For I find so little to remember anymore 
Someone else's lies keep me from trusting your words 
Will the hearts left behind rear their ugly heads 
Then I find I want to believe what I'm feeling so bad 

But what I believe battles 
Battles what I have seen 
Leaves me lying in wait 
Old wounds start to bleed again 

I smell the pillow then fight to untie 
Trembling hands and the vision of you by my side 
But what I can't take is when the vision is all that's left 
I stand by the river then try to decide 
I look in the mirror still I cannot stop 
Wishing and wanting what only waits for my word 

But what I believe... 

How do I step across this fear 
It swallows me whole with no sign of regret 
It takes me by the hand 
I cannot turn away
