Ghost in the Woods

I thought I saw the whole world
Smoldering in your eyes
But from this love came a curse
That befell and left me blind
Oh, it stole my fire
So now it has come to this
My hopes are turning to ash
Destroying all I held dear
Forever holding me back
Taking all I had
I hoped my gentle heart would save me
From this ever-winding road
But now I’m a ghost in the woods
Lost in a — which way to turn?
I stand and scan the skies
Hoping for an answer in the stars
Where has my freedom gone?
Where have all the birds flown?
I wanna hate you away
To get you out of my mind
But I see you everywhere
Your face carved from the moonlight
Never left behind
Your voice whispers in the wind
A festering memory, long dead
Like a foul
Cursed with forbidden knowledge
Born from the snow and starlight
Now cast to dust and decay
Your greatest weapon is truth
You wield it with bitterness
You stand in front of me now
Your face a desolate grey
I pray that I’ll have the strength
To turn my face away
These empty words from your lips
Like smoke that stifles my breath
The very strands of my life
Entwined in your fingertips
I see the spark of our past
But I lament what you’ve become
