A heart torn between love and passion
A mind that can’t wait for another session
A body that yearns for that loving touch
A soul for one person it loves too much
A life that has had so much taken away
Eyes that have opened now have something to say
Ears that won’t hear the sounds of control
Lips that move but the voice he stole
All of these things have taken a stand
And will no longer be silent for one single man
Happiness will once again be found
And feet will be back on firm solid ground
Once again I will rely on me
Find that feeling when I was free
Speak my mind without holding anything back
Stop wondering what he’ll say when I have that extra snack
Listen to that voice calling me down the right path
Spend more than an hour relaxing in a hot bubble bath
Be more prepared for what life decides to start
But above all I will be true to my heart
