It’s been a long time since I felt this way,

It’s been a long time since I felt this way,
My heart exposed to danger, just inches away.

And why does my heart ache?
Why do my hands shake?

I call for help why don’t you see?
Someone with love, why can’t you be?

Your hand, right here, yet I’ll never clutch it.
The blade is right there but I won’t ever touch it.

Then why is it that I complain so much?
And why does this hurt so much?

A deep breath is all I need,
A new thought, a new seed.

Wet eyed, I stare into night,
In the darkness, i see light.
