Ten years of anguish
Ten years of sorrow
Ten years alone
With people all around

Three flights up
In an empty bedroom
Devoid of any loving
Devoid of human touch

Living each day
The life of a servant
Practicing retreating
A shell of who she was

Hoping for a savior
To end the mental torture
Never even knowing
If saving could exist

Gone the years of passion
Gone the sacred hours
Gone the hope of union
Replaced with empty tears

Filled with silent moments
Filled with tense emotions
Frozen in a time warp
Of mem’ries now forlorn

Only dreams to guide her
Only chances taken
Happy ever after
An illusion or a dream

Destiny’s encounter
Hope on the horizon
Born of years of longing
For fate to intervene

All the empty sorrows
******* in a ribbon
Thrown in wicker baskets
Never to be retrieved

A simple chance encounter
A simple little entry
Changing lives forever
Passion now renewed

Reborn by fate uniting
Two souls on the horizon
Destiny providing
A platform for their love

All the empty years now
Gone, a pure reflection
Of love and time dismembered
By one who can’t conceive

Happiness has found her
In one ecstatic moment
The simplest solution
Right before her eyes

Safe and warm together
Love that’s profound now
Now the new beginning
So long ago conceived

With happiness forever
And dreams now reinstated
Where emptiness had once resided
Rekindled by their love

No more empty sorrows
No more lonely hours
No more trials and torment
No more broken hearts

Only joy and laughter
Only new beginnings
Only happy mem’ries
Built upon their love

Home needs no explaining
Home is where you’ll find her
Home that fills her *****
Home now fills her needs

One and one are one now
Never disunited
Loving hands unfolding
The future now conceived

With hope and love forever
Safe and warm inside now
Home to last forever
Love her sacred creed
