Work Text:
On the road to ruin
I wander,
Lost my dreams
Of and home and hearth
Torn asunder,
Heart and soul.
From fate's chosen path
Nimble as a thief
I stole away at night
Many years ago,
Today
I killed love.
Meandered blind
Forgot to grieve
I lost my way.
Now I grin and laugh again
For you will find
No footprint of my passing.
And of the battles I have fought
Only a tale to spin remains
I lied
But you will never know
Because the scars are all
On the inside.
To save myself
I let go of your hand.
Why can't you see?
The evening never brought
What the sunrise
Once had promised me.
And I cannot believe my eyes
Yet here before me you stand
The burdens of the past
I cast aside
Till in your arms I find at last
Respite.
