Once in a lifetime
Once in a life time a women enters you life and makes it better.
Makes you better
And to see them suffering and slowly killing them selfs because of addiction
Breaks your heart
You reach out
Only to drive them away
So you sit by
And watch them
Destroy there lives
Only to find that what
They thought
They had to do
Scared them
They live in a fog
Afraid to face the world
Putting them self in harm
And stuffing more
Every day because of it
If only they would
Open there mind
Give life a chance
Get out of the fog
And learn to live free
Free
Free
But they are never going to
Unless they can find true love
Love can heal them if they let
It in to there hearts
Love can filter the bad
Love can find new means
The ones that have been lost
But there love is never true
You might feel undieing
Love for them
But that will always have to be enough
Because they hide from the world
That loves them
That would worship them for there greatness
Have you ever felt like you were reach out and all you do is fall. But your still standing on the ground. You fall but you reach
Who is going to catch you
Who is going to love me
Who is going to tell me I am safe again
When will my reaching out be heard.
When will I ever be enough
The more I reach the more I
Push away
Pain seems to be my
Only friend
Am I selfish
Am I lost
Am I deserving
Am I deprived of life
Does my own mind want
Me to keep suffering
Or will it allow for
Me to feel less
Pain
Less
Stress
Less
Everything
To live a life I choose
Not one chosen
For me
Aaron I Orth
