Words you wear them as your skin
Etched in your flesh like scars from your past
They flash ever so often across your mind
Each one spilling emptiness and poison into your soul.
So you think that is what you are
Yet I have stood before you
My eyes behold you differently
I see your precious light and your fading darkness
Your wary heart that still hopes
Your courage to begin again though broken down
I have kissed the rawness of your hurts and uncovered you
The pages of your life are fragile and torn by the touch
Yet your eyes still harbour a painful plan
To choose a road where you walk a lone wolf and not a man...
