One

I sit alone in this room Atmosphere dark and gloom I close my eyes I ponder Mind begins to wonder I find myself in the woods Alone with natures goods The sun is high and stunning A nearby rivers water running Birds singing and deer prancing Leaves dashing and shadows dancing A peace becomes all I am I am one with all of them At home in this splendor My soul becomes soft and tender My troubles are now receded Gods will I have conceded My desires have no merit For only the weak shall inherit Perhaps alone now I must be Whether or not I wish to agree Mine own hand has put me here Weakness made my honor disappear This place plentiful and brilliant Like nature I must be resilient For now I will take it in And realize how beautiful it has been Perhaps one day I will be in perpetual peace And maybe my pain will cease What has brought me here What has made myself disappear In the end it only took one Someone whos beauty I could not out run All my life love was secondary An emotion so powerful it was scary I ignored I refused For with that my heart could not be bruised Through all of life tests for me Conquered them all I still could not see I have been challenged by the best Still I did not fall as anyone can attest Stood strong through all contests And yet all feelings I suppress Regardless of the cost Myself was still not loss This place teaches so much A divinity I cannot touch I’ve never had to come here before But since you I cant ignore Through everything I have beaten All I’ve over come save for this demon You’re the one I cannot shake The one sensation I cannot fake The one thing I did right I cannot vanish into the night Bravo you have done what nothing else could If I could take it from my memory I would But alas I am broken With no words to be spoken My iron clad façade You put in front a firing squad Always on guard My soul now scarred In the end it only took one To make me completely undone
