Fighting in the Waltz of Life
Slid out of the dark
To fight against blinding lights
with nothing but tears
Soon bathed in laughter
Fingers taught to dance on keys,
always craving more
Begging for boredom,
crushed by mountains of burden,
losing to shadows
Warm hands holding mine
Pull me into an embrace,
a waltz full of life
Fighting for the light,
but yanked back into the dark,
leaving tears of love
