Behind The Curtain

The weight of the world falls back on my shoulders

As you slowly slip through my fingers

The darkness deep inside

Now begins to rise, again

To the shattering of my newly mended heart

The pressure of my past creeps upon me

Growing until the awaited crescendo

The screaming subsides

Laughter begins to rise, again

To complete the transformation of my soul

In time I’ll heal

In time I’ll feel once again

In time I’ll let go

In time I’ll move on again

Why does this have to hurt so much?

If only right now I could feel your touch

I would fall right to sleep

You join me in my dream

All that was could be forgotten and forgiven

How could I lose you again?

I thought this time would be different

The pain is too much to bear

I can’t walk up these stairs

I don’t want to say good-bye again, and I won’t

In time I’ll heal

In time I’ll feel once again

In time I’ll let go

In time I’ll move on again

In time I’ll be fine

In time I’ll be okay again

But not tonight
