Loch an bhróin

[Lake of sorrow]

I dived down into the lake of sorrow, deeper than I ever thought I would
and I chose words of a loser, as I'd never known I could
I saw my dream bleed uncontrolled, not that I really should
but all this, I did

I felt my heart die faster than the speed of the light
I saw my sun turn black, darker than the night
And I was lost, and scared, in a newfound reality
all this, I did, to me

I lost my faith and hope, like never before
I lost my truth and my love, my deepest part, and more
I lost my Self in my lake of sorrow, and saw it drown all alone
all this, I did, within

I hung my self, a symbolic suicide, in the ancient tree
I sacrificed my heart and mind, everything that’s me
I left my soul forever changed, unable to see
all this, I did, with me

I gave up my dreams and thoughts,
         or was it you that took them away?
I gave up my minutes and hours,
          or was it you that took my day?
I gave up my life for all I believed,
          or was it you, that never let me be?

but gave up, I did, inside me..

So my existence became a memory, yet fading as days passed by
my life, like an ancient poem; a fading breath, a whispering sigh
Your betrayal filled the hole, and it locked the door, turning my truth into a lie
all this, you did, to me

I spoke in the winds that blew through your hair,
and in the tears that caressed your eyes
I asked;
"Aren't you just sick of lies?"

I screamed in the thunders that scared your nights,
and in the lightning over the skies
I asked;
"Aren't you just tired of lies?"

I'm was in everything around you, even in that which you had inside
You..
were the reason
"I" died.
