Once again

This path of mine
I walked down so many times
repeated, nonstop, never ending

And still I walk once again
each time gaining more cuts and scars
most of which never mending

For what purpose I have
to walk down once again
a place that always hurts me

Is the danger ahead
on this never ending path
something I can not see

No....
I can always see the danger and pain
its something I very well know

So what is this drive
this motive in me
that makes me still want to go

Its for compassion
for love that I long for
that I walk down once again

To be kissed, to be held
to be longed for
even in the arms of a dear friend

Another step I take
gives me another heartache
and yet still down this road I go

To be safe, to be strong
to feel like I belong
all feelings I need to know

For once, only once
someone hold out your hand and keep it in mine
and never let me go

Keep me in your arms
safe and warm
and protect me from this cold and bitter snow

All I wish is to feel I belong
to be cared for
to be loved

Once again....
