Redemption

There are bonds I shouldn�t have broken,
There are actions I shouldn�t have made,
There are words I shouldn�t have spoken
And they were great loves I�ve let fade.

I look out my dirty window,
And see a world fresh and clean.
I feel as if I�m as low as can go�
I�ve forgotten what my ideals mean.

Pieced back together with glue and tape,
I wake up crying and my body trembles.
My heart is now a blank slate,
A hole is what my soul resembles.

Where nothing seems to last,
I rest my aching head.
Remembering horrors of a forgotten past,
And wishing I were gone and dead.

The grip on my heart is so tight,
I feel I will collapse in sorrow.
Though this day is warm and bright,
I�ll always wait for tomorrow.
