Splinter
Emily Arthur © 2004
I accepted that I would never devote
I knew I would never control
My life or my mind
What I wanted, I couldn’t have
What I needed I wanted too bad
Faith had never been so vital
I was a secret dreamer
My aspirations haunted me
They were always a part of me
Soon to be silenced and suppressed
I closed down to you
I closed down to Him
I longed to cry but the feeling was gone
I couldn’t move on
Caught by the hands of fate
I was too numb to breath
Much less believe
I wanted to feel alive
I felt deprived of life
And look where I am
What a surprise
You were nothing but a splinter in my mind
