there is damage in the central area of my mind there is nothing to fix it broken pieces scattered on the ground i hold you in my arms i forget about time each bitter second fading away in your eyes why does this ruin the moment? i can never find peace inside so i withdraw leaving you and my beautiful life behind in the midst of my despair it begins to rain on me i look at the sky afraid and ashamed my heart is exhausted i begin to discern a child before me so pure so beautiful but who am i to him? just a broken man he gives me the courage to reflect on all my mistakes and discard my fears i can feel the sun replenishing the dark clouds until blue skies once again encompass my life and tears form in my eyes the child is gone i am fixed there no longer is darkness in my heart only courage i watch the sea the damage has vanished the beauty of letting go resides in my heart i approach you as you wait for me by the shore i am now old but my change of heart will always inspire the desolate i stand in my last days waiting for the sun to take me in my heart will soon give up either way i close my eyes and feel the waters take me to the other side to hold my makers hand in paradise
