Can I prevent this loss and pain, and hasten my release   or am I damned to existence alone?   Sear me child, let this pain set me free again   With broken promise you never know what this life could bring      and the time spent alone sorting through emotions   is a blessing that I know I cannot repay      With only words I cannot express my deep regret   of time gone by and of feelings that I'll never know   Pain believed but never shared has left me damaged here   By this my wounds will bleed anew and I am now exposed      Reaching out, reaching in the pain that grips me   Holds me tight in crushed embrace   Holding out, holding in, try to protect from what I fear      Revel in my loss.
