People, really
There's love
Wonder
In letters, words
The Word

The stars and the days look into our lives
And once they saw me

Broken inside
Afraid
Of anything real
An addiction to escaping our reality starts to rule our lives

Oh, just stay, fragile illusion
The days are long
And the space between Him and I is long

Then I realize
Maybe
If I start walking
Away from the illusion

I might start walking into beauty

And as I walk the icy fire that was destroying my soul fades to embers and dies to nothing

And another fire
Small and sweet
Flares in my soul

And its flames
Warm my frostbitten spirit

And I am home
