Endings
Alone Lost in the woods
misunderstood
I would find my way out if I could
My soul is howling in the forgotten wind
Nowhere to end no where to begin
I am the devil's sin
A mist of sorrow
A plea of forgotten tomorrows
A hollow tree with dead leaves
a stream that once believed
But now lays deceived
An empty riverbed
it doesn't flow as it did in yesteryear
Dried up, empty, like forgotten tears
Fear, anger, guilt
All stand where hope has fallen
The roots grow deep, but the Earth around them is weak
So its life leaks, seeps
Leaving it standing, but weak
Digging deeper
For life, it seeks
Holding on to something it can't keep
It sways in the wind
Nowhere to end nowhere to begin
Burning itself, from within
Soon to fall to the forest bed
where it will be forgotten
Returned to Earth
Where life begins, but one must end
