Horizon Of Your Past

Horizon Of Your Past

I saw you jumping and smiling today,
Like a slap in the face.
Memories and loss come flooding back,
Like a knife in the heart.

Our time was good and beautiful, until the darkness spread
From your heart and the horizon of your past.

Saying goodbye as a boy was much easier,
I'd drown the pain and loss.
I can't yank away at it anymore till I'm numb,
You're the first I lose as a man.

Our time was good and beautiful, until the darkness spread
From your heart and the horizon of your past.

How it got into my dreams is through you,
When your light seemed to cast a greater shade.
No sun can outshine that darkness in love,
Until your shadows are confronted and destroyed.

Fuel my fear with courage, until that too is destroyed.
When the sight of you, no longer stabs me in the heart.
