All I Need

All that was loved now dwells in hatred
Once dear to heart
Now slowly fading
Vanishing in time
Never meant with me to entwine

Last shelter was ruined
Sanctuary destroyed
My trust, it was murdered
That heart was betrayed

And they said
I would never forgive
I would never forget

All that was dearly adored now turned to ashes
Sweet memories so warm
Mesmerizing deep wishes
Now reflect with cold
As nothing was real in my hope

That blind love was only mine
My own sin
The curse and the heal
A touch of never dream
Shattered by time

And they said
I would never forgive
I would never forget

So true they did say
I never forgave
I never forgot
Every tear remained
Every pain recalled

Heart will desire revenge
Where love only needed
To cease that dark rage
A kind heart to believe
A dear hand to relieve
One only soul to complete
All what left of me

All I ever need…

Heart to feel love back
Giving nothing instead
Soul to believe and wishes to dream
And strong hand to hold on with me still
Until the pain fades away
All I ever need
