I thought I could live without
Broken hearts and broken dreams
I’ve hurt some, there’s no doubt
Leaving ego, leaving self
Leaving some of my dreams
Leaving bits of integrity
That can never be redeemed
The trail is getting longer
Losing more along the path
Looking back in anger
Need to find a way back
Stop and reassess my life
Need to get back on track
Preserve the little I have left
Resurrect the things I lack
Time may be to short now
For redemption of my soul
To stop the hurt and hurting
To climb out of this black hole
Need to listen to my heart
And do the things that are right
Restore the days of sunshine
And end these sleepless nights
A 12-step intervention
Beg forgiveness from those I hurt
A very slow healing process
Will my pain also revert?
