A New Start

My sight is faint, my hearing is gone

It always tries to catch me off guard

But I'm glad my eyes are closed now

To not see or hear the house crumbling down

I'll come downstairs chasing your voice

And I'll find you there reading a book

The light through the windows filling the room

The shell of solitude starting to crack

I'll kiss you on the lips and our time will be back

It grew between us when I was blind by your light

It screams against me behind it's fierce eyes

It never matters how hard the strain

The beast runs towards me hungry in it's pain

Biting and scratching mistaking it's fears

Looking to escape with eyes full of tears

I'll come downstairs chasing your voice

And I'll find you there singing a song

The rain on the windows playing along

The stark inner emptiness falling apart

I'll kiss you on the lips and our time will start
