I sit out and ponder tonight
Under golden starlight.
A colder wind blows,
Winter is just around the bend.
Soon summer will end,
The long nights filled with fruitless fights.
You crept into my dreams again last night.
I didn’t know what to do
A part of me said ‘call’
But I wouldn’t survive that fall.
So I did nothing
I tried to reach you before
But I guess all those bridges burned.
How do I move on?
I’m just a lost boy
Wandering new streets of life.
Been awhile since I walked alone.
I forgot about the silence
What that is like.
To only hear one set of footsteps.
I know I am paying off a debt.
Once paid
It’ll be like I’m dead.
A fresh start ensues
I must pursue,
Pursue the wind wherever it leads
It whistles to me in these darkened streets.
Beckons me on to a lonely sunrise
So I’ll march on to the beating
Of my own drum
My forsaken heart’s song.
Off key she may be
Slightly slow.
Weighed down with baggage
The pace quickens
As the burdens are shed.
Reaching the end of the way
Still broken and bruised
Stitched up with needle and thread
I’ve reached a new street
Time for a different beat.
The sun has risen
I’ve been forgiven.
