Tests of faith, nights of fear False eyes and silver tongues Quotes from films from 18 years All culminating in one night, with one flame The night you burned it all A refugee from your own past Your story has not yet been told It's so dangerous to forget But sometimes, you have no choice Try as you might, there's no running from your soul Warm hands, tender looks from lovers Black nights you played terrorist You will create and you will destroy But you're still not saved Believe you're invincible If it helps you sleep at night Escapists lie waiting for dawn Faithfully believing the new day will light another way Dawn into dusk into the endless cycle Jaded one more day How can love bring all this to an end? Will his hand vanquish my ancient fears? Will he believe that I can still change? New lover, I've come to hate my past Because it won't save me, and I cannot escape All of my heart I hand to you All of my soul I place in your trust But I shall guard my past with my life It's all I am, all I know, and all I hate Sometimes it's all I've got.
Reason for writing:
because hope meant being cut down by a random bullet, as you ran like mad, down the street
