What faith I had in people
You shook to its foundation
What faith I had in people
You crushed

What heart I had once
Taken
Bled out again, mistaken
What heart I had once, ash beneath your touch

What fight I had is broken
A spirit left for reaping
A trudging soul
No longer strength to run

A smile of pure abandon
A battered soul now leaping
What choices made
Can lead us to this turn

What heart I had once,
Pounding
What fight? Is slowly rising
What strength returns, but still I will not run.

Just a little something that came out when I was thinking, 14-December
