Unrealized

The breath of life
pure as its birthspring
tears fresh on my open skin

Sunset in my golden valley
All's dead in the frosty glow, and
How can I end what I didn't begin?

About to close the door, I find
Those who most care life leaves behind

A thousand empty rooms
a thousand lives that I lie shrouded under

I've lived them day and night
wov'n them in unshone light

And I,
oh, I...

My love is a frozen river
running through the hills of long ago
My heart is a fortress ever
but what is immortal when always alone

I watched from far away
You were the valiant one
And all i felt to do was hide
imagine you would find me

The years go by, I'm growing up
I'm growing...womanly
I walk and talk as if I know what I mean
The dreams of old thirteen
sigh into the youth of nineteen
And yet I dream on...

I'm sure you're long gone
but still...

I would cross that frozen river
I would bleed a drop a day
until this world knew spring again
If i could hope that you would ever
love me as I always dreamed you did

But I grow sick with it...

These tears have starred my eyes
My ignorance seemed wise
The doors to my sanctuary
thrown wide, and
watching the day die, oh

I stand unrealized...

I'm walking through the park
and finally, I see it clear
And for the first time in your life
you've just come through the gate

I smile, and wave, and walk on,
I leave you standing there, in the sun, and

How can I blame the world I didn't let in?
