did what it pleased
silently drifting
empty of needs
reveling in pleasure
repenting the pain
but it all closes in
nothing is gained
hitting a stone wall
you slip as you climb
asking the same questions
time after time
the answers you sought
burn way down deep
a spirit lost in shadow
trying to break free
let the cleansing come
let the rain pour down
let me ease your pain
as the sorrow drowns
let redemption cloak
let your spirit mend
let your soul wrap around
the heart of a friend
