The winds have changed direction
The nights have grown cold
Overwhelming my senses
Chilling my soul
Icy fingers of dread
Touched me in a dream
“Beloved..” he whispered
But spoke not to me
Unsure how I missed them
The signals and signs
Its true what they say
Love really is blind
I am merely a vehicle
A means to an end
Enlightened and humbled
My heart now may mend
My trust I gave freely
My love for him pure
Yet I’ve only one regret
Of this I am sure
The time that we spent
The joy and the love
Not a curse on my heart
But a gift from above
But the sadness I see
In the eyes of my child
Reflections of mine
There’ll be no denial
My pain will subside
I am strong now, it’s true
My strength is for them
My children, and you
The healing of family
This task I now own
For suffer the children
The ignorance of the grown
I awoke from my slumber
Unsettled and broken
Fragmented memories of
Promises unspoken
It was only a dream
A twisted reality
Lies of sleep cannot hurt me
The truth sets me free
What you see when you look in my eyes,
Love, is real
Fear no longer binds me
I’ll not hide how I feel
