I go there every night.
The field, with the pond,
The austere little cottage,
The place in my dreams.

A place full of wonder,
With magic in the air.
Into the darkness, yonder,
The place beyond despair.

I open my eyes to the moon,
White, lingering over me,
Touching my heart, hewn
By the treacherous humanity.

My escape from the world,
And everything around.
The austere little cottage,
The place in my dreams.

As the sun sets,
A dread fills me from within.
For with the darkness,
A restlessness creeps into my soul.

What you see, what you make of me,                                  
Is no longer who I am.
I am a shadow, swept away,
As night takes over the sky.

My closed eyes can see him,
Laughing as I run away.
As long as he lives, I die within,
Living that dreadful day.

The silence shatters my heart.
How much longer will it be?
No more now, the pain will end.
For today, I will break free.

Two choices lie ahead,
None lies behind.
Even though i want to,
I cant run and hide.

Little voices beckon me,
From both the unknown paths.
Who should I listen to,
When both capture my heart?

With a little excitement,
And fear of change,
I make my choice and move ahead,
Without so much as a cringe.

Today I close my eyes,
And wonder what would have been,
If i had chosen the path,
That still remains unseen.

Then with a smile I tell myself,
This question has to end.
And with that smile I move on,
To wherever life has to send.

My heart leads me another way.
It shows me a world so quiet,
A world where I would not be bound,
And my heart would feel so light.

My heart pulls me another way,
In a place where birds aren't scared to sing,
A world not driven by ambition and greed,
Where love would shower from heaven's brink.

My heart takes me another way.
It soars across the oceans so deep.
It breaks free, breaks through it all,
No more tears, no reason to weep.

How I wish I could follow it,
Fill the world with love and care.
Choose my life to touch someone's heart,
'Cz my heart leads me another way.

He walks with an aura of mysterious charm
Commanding a gentle authority that one can't ignore
A serene air surrounds him, wraps him in her arms
Like she, proud of having the best, can't let him go

His eyes reflect a buried pain, hidden deep below
Yet his lips force a smile at people passing by
He seems like a warrior, forgotten long ago
Not easily intimidated, not afraid to die

I don't know who he is, or where to he goes
I can't wait for another look, to set my face aglow
He is an unknown angel, whom I look up to
My eyes look around for him, but he doesn't know

— The End —
