Fortress Lawrence Peters
the boy sits alone
in the dark
sins to atone for
no love to hope for
the door to the fortress stays locked
a hand raised in the air
for what?
who cared?
Once ago far and away
he raised that hand
begged love to stay
raised that hand again
and threw it away
boy alone
darkness reigns
far from home
no dance no rain
heart still beats
and he wonders why
tears unshed
too many reasons to cry
girl alone
love undaunted
hand in the air
her love he taunted
he could beg
he could plead
for her love
that he needs
hand raised
in the air
one more chance
from despair
death's cool breath
he feels so close
hand raised in the air
he waits
he hopes
my love my love
come back to me
he whispers again
hand raised in hope
voice unheard
behind the fortress
in the darkness
love waits
chances taken
and chances lost
love waits
love
waits
