    Shinedown

    Another cold night,
    As I lie awake,
    Alone - contemplating on past mistakes
    I remember - Just what it takes, just what it takes
    Just what it takes...

    To live the life I lead
    To walk the path I chose
    To seeing most of your friends end up as foes
    This loneliness and these somber woes
    Nobody knows, nobody knows...

    And I heard someone once say
    The sun shines on each new day
    So why are my skies so gray?
    Why does life have to be this way?

    My Intentions
    They are all pure
    My greatest strength - I always endure
    Scars - I have many, they don't have a cure
    Don't have a cure, ain't got no cure...

    Cure for a broken heart
    Cure for my broken trust
    But I keep moving on because I feel I must
    Not to succumb to lies and let my senses rust
    My senses rust, My senses rust...

    And I heard someone once say
    The sun shines on each new day
    So why are my skies so gray?
    Why does life have to be this way?

    But I know there will come a time
    When I will finally get what's mine
    A love, a solace, a peace of mind
    And on that day the sun will shine.

    Thank you so very much for your kind words. I am happy you enjoy my writing, and I will definitely return the favor :)

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
