Stardust Lost In Fallen Dreams

There I Am... There I Shall Be

Time falls apart the clocks begin to slow then stop

My life has become a shadow

A play in which I have to play my part

My love my reason for being is a cold and broken heart

I am who I am and who that is

Is even to me a mystery to unfold

I once stood tall so proud to be someone who was needed and respected

Now that life has become a lie that is so deeply part of me

that I no longer can tell where the truth begins and the lie ends

Those who stand around me do not know me

they see my face but my name no longer fits the person in the reflection

I am as broken as the day my heart found it no longer had a home

Who am I?

Am I the person they see me as who can be strong and pure

Or am I indeed the person I now see before me with darkness and despair within

My everything my reason for being who I am

Is by my side once more but there is a shadow falling over me that I cannot shake

I feel a sense of betrayal but cannot shake it

for there is my love no reason for existing without the chance of risking it all

I stand for you for what I believe I must do now

To walk away from it all to give up my safety is what I must do

For you for the dream of what could be I shall do it no matter the cost

I lay my life in your hands,

my heart in the one place I feel it will be safe

and my soul next to yours as I feel a calm that I have long since forgotten

The fight is before me

The faces of those I called friends are now enemies

The once I loved is by me, within me and before me

Take me for who I am is all I ask

I can give you no more

I am the dark

I am the light

I am the past

I am the present

I am the future

I am but just the here and now.
