One Day

One hand left to hold on For everything you’ve atoned Loneliness and its many-headed dragon Has left your heart full of stone You’re not one to forgive And you need to forget There’s a way to disconnect from what destroys you You just haven’t found it yet When they whisper, you smother in their secrets And all their lies and bitterness Torn apart and forced to choke upon the pieces One day, you’ll forget Let the flames in your chest Be the strength to come home Loneliness will slowly crumble into ashes Once you choose to move on There’s no time to forgive And you need to forget The last stone will cast its shadow on your heartache You just haven’t thrown it yet When they whisper, you smother in their secrets And all their lies and bitterness Torn apart and forced to choke upon the pieces One day, you’ll forget No one else can understand your pain And then at night it all comes back again I know a part of you just wants to die But you bite down and carry on with life One hand left to hold on One night full of regret Brush the dust off your wings, boy One day, you’ll forget --- One Day - HD Bradley
