It didn't happen overnight
These things they seldom do
The stones are piled up one by one
Until no light shines through.

The cold inside will soon replace
The fire that burned so deep
And all that's left in this place
Is a numbness that lets me sleep.

No more tears and no more pain
No more thoughts of yesterday
Some are here only to help
The ones who've lost their way.

Acceptance has always been the key
The pain comes from the fight
I'll turn it off and in the end
Hope that I was right.

Very nice. thank you for sharing.

so true!

I remember the first email you ever sent me years ago when I had something about her as my headline.

Thank you all for reading.
