See the water burning through my hands Fight to cleanse the stain again Feel the chilling wind rush by it tries To push all from memory Pick up the pieces of discarded trust I must learn to form that word again Remove the blind from blackened eyes That were told they did not see Shield The sunlight from my eyes It's been so long since I have seen who I am I used to feel so much Search please let us touch This forgotten love Hear the echo of wasted words Ricochet in my emptiness As the raging flame of passion scorned Reflects on my frozen skin Again On my skin Until then Shield The sunlight from my eyes It's been so long since I used to feel so much Search please let us touch This forgotten love I couldn't see in my submission The chains were attached to nothing The word love cannot love for you The word love It cannot love for you Beneath the shell in darkness Waits a timid heart To beat again for another And these blackened eyes and bloodstained hands Wait to give And receive
