This Misty Mountain Road
This Misty Mountain Road
By: Aidan Gilbert
Heavy heart
Guiding my own new start
Walking a misty mountain road
Alone with my emotional load
Rocks coated with dusty dirt
It’s talking me forever to embrace this hurt
Holding the hand of pain
Nothing left to gain
I stare at falling leaves
They remind me of me
Of how quickly I lost
How certain character traits had to high of a cost
Rain now comes from grey clouds
Natures way of telling me how
How I destroyed everything
How from my sin I hopelessly hang
Stopped on this rubbed street
Ultimate sadness blindsided me bringing defeat
Now storming through this emotional ride
In my hurt I can’t hide
All at once it hit me head on
Heart stopping reminder your gone
Forced to open my eyes
Let my soul cry
And to not let our memories die
The pictures of us flow in my blood
The feeling of our love hit me like a flood
I remember our first date
How we stayed out late
I remember our your smile
Our letters in a pile
Our bittersweet time
How you were mine
But the last memory I had was the first time you cried
When I told my last lie
I knew you deserved better
When our mess got wetter
Not from blood but tears
How I turned into your greatest fear
But my one time abuse was just an excuse
A diversion from me accepting the truth
The truth that our loved failed
That our love was stale
My mistakes I do regret
But me changing myself I can let
I know you never thought our love wasn’t fake
You whispered that to me the day I left on the lake
I know our love died when I made that mistake
From I hate I had to wake
I still love you though
We don’t have to be a forever no
I stare at the trees
Dreaming of the man I could be
This misty mountain road I roam
Looking for a home
I know I’m in a better place
Putting you in my heart’s case
When I’m ready I’ll come and open it
But right now just hold on a bit
