Forgive me if I sit here,
And watch you live in peace.
I have begged for mercy all my life,
And I am still down on my knees.

Excuse me if I question,
All that I see.
Whilst you watch or read what your fed,
conveniently on pay TV.

Forgive me if I am shaken,
By your happiness in life,
Whilst turning a blind eye,
As others are purposely stripped of their lives.

Though who am I to judge you,
We live in a democracy.
A land of trust, respect, and,
Honesty?


Only a minority see the truth,
Whilst millions cry for change.

As we sit here broken,
In unbroken chains.

It was a night of laughter,
Just one night of 364 others,
within one of my years.

I met him,
It was amazing.
Just conversation,
Mainly.

He stripped me of my fears,
Stripped me of my worries,
Stripped me of all I knew.
Vanished were my reasons,
Reasons that could usually bring me to tears.

I found myself dancing,
Dancing with a stranger.
And all those times my mother told me to stay away from these types;
Warning, danger.

"How could it be so wrong,
When it feels so right?"
I thought to myself,
as I gazed into his eyes.

I didn't realise,
That these eyes were the eyes of a sinner.
We danced and laughed and fell in love,
And then he was done.

A loveless affair,
I just didn't know.
Now I wish I never met him.

One night of 364,
One night too many.

You fell from the sky.
Out of nowhere,
you were suddenly there.

You nourished my life,
Out of nowhere,
You were there.

You landed on me,
Spontaneously.
Out of nowhere,
You were there.

Just as you came,
as a surprise.
Out of nowhere,
you weren't there.

Just as I began to love you,
You began to disappear,
As raindrops fall,
As raindrops fall.

Two souls entwined,
lost in words,
lost in time.

Time lost, through two souls,
as words are lost,
as souls untwine.

I left myself
With words unspoken
Falling down
On a heart, unbroken.

I fell within,
my deepest conscious.
I learned to swim,
Although I was cautious.

I take a breath,
of my polluted surroundings.
My soul full,
of worthless doubting.

I  walked along,
went with the crowd,
I hid myself,
in the shadows.

I fell asleep,
I dreamt my dreams,
Where everything is as it seems.

And as I wake,
Each day I say,
Welcome, welcome to another.

Another day, of hope and prey,
as I search for meaning,

The life of a long lost lover.
