In an instant
Over a lifetime
In a crowd
Lonely and alone
By my one true love
Every time I took a risk
When I dared to dream
Hounded by a nightmare
While flying high
In the depths of depression
Inevitably and unavoidably
In an unexpected twist
In the silence
Too loud to bear
Once in a lifetime
Over and over again
With a gentle touch
Beating me over the head
As a life lesson
Infinitely unfathomable
On a bright sunny day
cloaked in shadows
Today, tomorrow
And every day
