Used To Be

I used to be like a mother
To those who are lost so deep
And they don’t even bother
Open their eyes to see

I used to be a good one
To save them from themselves
But I searched for love
Where was no better chance

One day the mirror showed me
A ghost of real me hidden so deep
That even I cannot reach

Dark deep ocean
Quivering within
Blessed with passion
Of an endless dream
Just a touch of hoping child
I’ve lost so deep in my heart

Echoes of the past
Shadows of yesterday
Kisses of dark lust
Covered with ashy veil
Of black torn scars

My soul lives beyond crystal petals of cherry blossom
Where pure innocence still lies uncovered, untouched
Dear hope rests deep within, somewhere on my heart’s bottom

I used to be the one so kind
So understanding and forgiving
I used to be naive like a child
But no more, oh, my sweet darling

Dark deep ocean
Quivering within
Blessed with passion
Of an endless dream
Just a touch of hoping child
I’ve lost so deep in my heart
