---

Staring inside,

the gates are open for you.

Let go, far away.

Willing to walk

into this path of hurt,

for tomorrow lies ahead.

What lies within,

only I can know.

I look through the mist

with my eyes closed—

dispel the dreams

that I can't hold.

Delve in the deep,

into the abyss

and stare back.

The flowers of winter

bloom inside my chest;

the hours remaining

for another day

are torn to pieces,

yet found a way inside you.

Put back together

the winds.

I reach to the stars

and raise my voice

up high.

Now, buried by time

my weary soul

will find its way

against the dusk.
