Opus
By butch
I can never replace those things you have taken, I can never renew, I can never squelch this pain you have inflicted, nor be rid of you, I remember the nights I waited for you, no sleep for worry, The things you did through the long nights, the guilt you must bury, The pictures you painted across my soul, can never be erased, The lines that were etched deep in my heart, must never be traced, If loving is a crime or somehow wrong, I will take the blame, I gave my heart to something I needed, I ignited the flame, When I took myself away from you, I carried a stain, I became blind to the world around me, not numb to the pain, I closed myself to the callings of life, a purposeful recluse, The darkness that slowly invaded me, I could not refuse, But, I have emerged from my cocoon, a victim no more, I have changed my direction, repaired what was tore, I am whole once again, and afraid of none, I am better for my journey, at last I am done, Why do I still love you?..........
