Realization patched my soul
Today I stand
My vision cleared
You took my hand
Slowly pulling
We stood before the bed
There you rest tranquilly
Acceptance reached
My breath finally renewed
All these years
You have haunted me
Just like the unjust blame
The caretaker always inadequate
I just realized the truth
The fault was never mine
You tried reaching me
Every raindrop chanted
The name left unspoken
I always wondered
Did you ever love me
Flashes fill my mind
Magical green eyes
Twinkle with love
I still walk down perfume aisles
Rubbing loves baby soft on each wrist
You always enter my mind
There you are again
Lightly applying shadow
I braced myself for the storm
Hours later tears streaked cheeks
How you fought for the wrong love
I watched the years crack you
You became a ghost
A prisoner forever trapped
Now I know you are free
I must move on
Living in shadow has almost ruined me
Now I will take a stand
