Voices buzzed inside of my head Telling that the feelings were dead Quieting them gently with a smile and a tear I delved deep within having no fear
Thoughts of my demons I had laid rest In my heart I knew that I had passed the test The taste might be bitter but love was so sweet I took a deep breath and refused to retreat
I vowed to stay focused and not to lose sight It was with myself I knew I would fight I could never go back to where I had been To take from would be absolute sin
I had drunk from the cup I had tasted my need Only I understood only I could take heed I knew that my soul was now safe from harm Others words did not matter nor did their charm
I stood firmly planted though the ground was so cold I knew as time passed the truth would unfold Laughter comes easy to weep is in vain Pleasure brings smiles and it follows the pain
