It Is Time

Time to let this torture stop
Time to make this end
Time for my soul to feel no more
And finally start to mend

It’s time to give me peace in life
To make the demons go away
To forget all of my pain and strife
To see the shadows fade to day

Give me shelter from this storm
Why do you haunt me yet?
Keep me safe and keep me warm
Let my heart feel no regret

I am tired of living in sorrow
Watching time drift all around me
Always wishing for a different tomorrow
Knowing that it can never be

I want no more to hear your voice
To see our souls as one
I want to feel I have a choice
And know the battle’s won

But never shall you give me peace
Never shall I know
What it is to have torment cease
What it is to grow

You follow me and will not leave
You plague my mind and soul
I see your memory and I grieve
For only with you am I whole

I love you still
That I cannot deny
You are my home
Where my spirit flies

I long to return to you
To know you once again
To let my dreams find root in you
To find the love that has always been

Yet never again shall I find
Anything as real
As this life I’ve left behind
And the hopes I no longer feel

It is time to move along
To change my path, to change my pace
Time to learn a different song
And try to find another place

Yet never can I forget your soul
What I’ve yearned for for all these years
You, where my spirit is whole
Where there are quiet comforts from my fears

Time to let you go
Time to say goodbye
Time to see you nevermore
Time for me to cry

Never to return to you
Never to be home
Never to find the place I grew
Always and ever to be alone

How I long for someone
To come to me and say
You have suffered long enough
It’s time to take the pain away.
