Until I find you
these blinding lights
on the highways of pain
will be my greatest nightmare
As I stumble forward
Grasping at hope
Searching for compassion
And needing to find it in your eyes
Until I find you
I will lie at the feet of anguish
Wishing not to be crushed to pieces
Frozen in these headlights of distress
My knees refusing to take me further
But my heart will not give up
as it is determined to find
This endless beauty
That the premise of love
Has etched in my mind
Though my soul is drained
I have to believe
In the core of me
That I have the strength
To get past this undiscerning confusions
On this rugged path
Discouragement lurks in the shadows
Waiting for the opportune time
To attack my senses
And drive me into the potholes of insanity
I swerve avoiding contact
With another heart break
Assuring myself that
Nothing is as good
As the love in your heart and
I will not settle for less
What will it take?
To shut these lights off so
that I can find serenity in your arms
Do I need to cast stones of disgust
In order to find some semblance of peace
On this road to nowhere
Maybe you are right there
Around the corner
And if I can hold out a bit longer
I will care not to shade my eyes
From the lights
On the highways of pain
As I would have found my way
And all that once hampered my vision
Would have been left behind
To find a new victim to taunt
As my soul lay in contentment in yours
