Barricade

Once sealed a barricade

Peeled open by the waves of the storm

Remains scattered by the waterside

A stillness in the view

I walk across the shore

Dark clouds begin to pour over me

Heavy I am slowly taken to my knees

Drowned in solitude

My heart belongs there too

Mistaken by the wind

No end and no beginning at all

So thin I am hardly able to be seen

Stolen from your eyes

How does love remain?

How can strength replace the pain?

Or will I learn to find the quiet in the rain?

Until you're gone

You're gone

You're gone

This coldness in the air

Held back by the prayers of the lost

Broken shards of hardened hearts within in the Earth

Reflected in our breath

How can love remain?

How can strength replace the pain?

How will I learn to find the quiet in the rain?

Or will my days begin to change

They're all the same until you're gone
