I look toward this darkened sky
Waiting for a sign of reprieve
I never meant to give my heart
you pounced, waiting to decieve
I languished in your shadow
wanting to rise above
shackled to this misery
never feeling true love
I lay awake with a wish in my mind
and your name like a curse upon my lips
you turn and steal pieces of my soul
ever so slowly in tiny sips
My very being it aches
and longs to be whole
Who am I now in this darkness
Have I not yet paid the toll
I long to feel the sun
Beaming on my face
I yearn to travel far from here
To leave this dreadful place
So I spend my moments
Searching for a sign
Something to hold on to
The day when once again, I shine
