Mistakes Result

Do you ever see the crosses on the side of the road
The tokens of a loved ones death
Representing a heart break
The loss of lifes breath

Have you ever been too a funeral
Watched as tears were shed
All dressed in black
How ironic it is that the crowd is more dead

Have you gave your heart away
Opened up to what you thought was great
Then get broken in two
And buried under hate

Have you ever hidden among the shadows
Been silent when you wanted to scream
Wondered why your reality was a nightmare
Why you could never wake from the dream

Have you seen something terrible
Bad enough to want to be blind
Been dealt fates hand
Wanting to rewind

Have you made too many mistakes
To count them with the fingers on your hand
Do you feel your already the walking dead
Or that you are slowly slipping beneath the quicksand

Does the sun not shine anymore
Can you see the stars
Or only the darkness of the night
Opening long ago made scars

We all have a story
We each hold a secret
We each have an addiction
Yet don’t really need it

Close your eyes
Do you see your shames reflection
Or that of peace
That of a learned lesson

Forgivness is easy to give
To forget is to erase
But that of our failed attempts
Is not a arms race

Stop falling and rise
Remember the times when you saw the light
Leave the demons of your mistakes
And follow the path that seems so much more bright
