I'm taking the long way
No shortcuts to ease
To bypass the intersections
Little moments of inner struggle
Through an endless period of time.

Promised I'll change,
Haven't I?

Once, I left
Went away without looking back
On the chaos I've left behind
With a heavy load of guilty conscience.

You know what it does
To the one who's hollow inside?
Nothing!

But I promised I'll change,
Haven't I?

You'll write a book
From my lies,
Red inked autobiography book,
Just to seal in a forgotten place,
Never to be found,
Never to be disturbed.

Promise me,
You'll be here,
A touch away,
To aid when I'll stumble,
To catch me,
If I'll fall.
