My Could

 

And I could not hear my cries

Nor could I see my tears

I could not feel my pain

buried deep beneath my years

And I could not know my sorrow

though I could try and try

For I clung too tightly to my dreams

with all their abandonment and lies

And I could not sense my emptiness

for what could be taken away

And I never could embrace the kiss

of the heart that led mine astray

I could not see my mountain

that I could never climb

For I could not know the path

even as it echoed in my mind

My passion it possessed me

My mind it never knew

My soul had been imprisoned

by what could never be called true
