Stairway to Heaven
2.28.04
Climbing the stairway to heaven
The blue fades to violet somewhere along here
But I can’t see where
It’s all too blurred
So blurred that I’m blind
Falling with no one to catch me
I’m dead within and dead without
Something tells me there’s someone reaching out
But the illusions I constantly create-
Constantly cause me to doubt
Blood is dripping down, through this rain of tears
I don’t want to see this hurt- feel this pain
But it is here, and it is real
And how many times have I sworn-
That this was the last time I’d cry?
How many times have I prayed, and promised, and withered away inside?
Climbing the stairway to heaven
Praying this isn’t the end
Pleading with the Creator
Hanging on to the only outstretched hand
It’s all so blurred
And I’m so blind
This isn’t me
This wasn’t what I was looking for-
What I wasn’t meant to find
Something tells me no
I can’t give up, I must move on
There’s too many left, awaiting me
And I won’t leave them untouched
Leave them to my path, my harm
These scars etch my soul
But I won’t be overtaken
I won’t be blinded again
I’ve left that path
For a stairway- not built by these mortal hands
A stairway leading to heaven...
<--- fall into my patterened tears... [return]
<---<--- catch me as i fall? [AA]
