Recover

I will always remember

Things I want to forget

Bitter memories of shame

Of loss and regret

When I try to recover

Pleasant thoughts in my head

I withdraw to that lover

Under my bed

And oh, I’m caught in the crossfire

Battered and petrified

I’m helpless and yet you try to fight me

You will come to discover

My broken fragments don’t mend

But I will conjure another portrait instead

And oh, fueling the wildfires

Under a blood red sky

Burning with questions

Why and why and why this?

In the pleasure and pain

Lies my passion and then

With every day my hope for love isn’t lost

In the deluge of rain

Find the sunlight again

With every day our hope for love must live on

Some days I cannot cover

Thoughts that make me offset

Choices which made me suffer

And hang by a thread

I must learn not to smother

Every breakthrough I’ve made

Little victories are stock

In the balance of trade

And oh, after the night storms

Under the morning light

A change in the weather writes our new song

In the pleasure and pain

Lies my passion and then

With every day my hope for love isn’t lost

In the deluge of rain

There’s the sunlight again

With every day our hope for love shines on
