This forgotten love

See the water burning through my hands
Fight to cleanse the stain again
Feel the chilling wind rush by it tries
To push all from memory

Pick up the pieces of discarded trust
I must learn to form that word again
Remove the blind from blackened eyes
That were told they did not see

Shield
The sunlight from my eyes
It's been so long since
I have seen who I am
I used to feel so much
Search please let us touch
This forgotten love

Hear the echo of wasted words
Ricochet in my emptiness
As the raging flame of passion scorned
Reflects on my frozen skin
Again
On my skin
Until then Shield
The sunlight from my eyes
It's been so long since
I used to feel so much
Search please let us touch
This forgotten love

I couldn't see in my submission
The chains were attached to nothing
The word love cannot love for you
The word love
It cannot love for you

Beneath the shell in darkness
Waits a timid heart
To beat again for another
And these blackened eyes and bloodstained hands
Wait to give
And receive
