Today the journey begins anew
It starts over; there is no looking back
I cannot begin to comprehend
The extraordinary expense this will levy
Upon my bankrupt soul
My addictions still haunt me
But now it is only grudgingly that I give into them
No more will I do so willfully
Like a love gone sour
I will walk away, no matter the pain
I can only hope that my mirage of love
Will one day become a reality
That all the hoaxes called love
That I have known before will fade away
And that I will come to embrace a truer from
Of this mystery, this unexplainable force
As I look forward on this road
Seeing my journey stretching out ahead of me
With no end in sight
All I know for sure is
That this is the path I must travel
To turn back now would be to forfeit my soul
I can’t turn back now…
I won’t go back…

hallways
have i missed the door that i should have taken
or have i merely locked it with my pride?
i have walked this hallway up and down
and there are many doorways, many open
some appear to be locked, though have never been tried
and i wonder, why am i still here? have i missed my exit?
or is it simply a a lack of trust and fortitude?
the answer to this question, most likely
will only be found beyond the frames that line this hall
and so i walk through one, not knowing what i will find
but i've got the keys...
