Thousands of sparks

All inside my head

Pain and anguish

The emotions I have fled



I'm against a barrier

Of awesome liquid steel

Melting away my life

With shards of that old deal



Bargains made, friendships broken

What is it all worth

I am but a mere victim

Of my own agonizing birth



Long ago but many years from now

Is the underlying truth

I lie awake at night

Dreaming of a scarred youth



Tormenting nightmares

Chase me while I wait

Screams of terror

Remind of my fate



Running as far as I can

And never looking back

Trip and fall was always the way

I never had the knack



Soft hands reach out and gently touch my face

Then swiftly jerk away

I often wonder if my life

Is like that every day



But I know one day

I will reach my eternal bliss

I will close my eyes...

Forget all that has been...

And she will seal it with a kiss.
