Leaves scurry across my window
Swift glimpses of orange and red
Beyond the dread of my words unsaid
I find a burden of regrets inside my bed

Time took over my addictions
Down below inside a decade long well
But I changed everything about myself
And escaped that horrible hell

You would think I'd live a happier life
Sober and free this home of mine
But at the sacrifice of a lovey dove
As radiant as an angel from the sky

Now even as a free man
All these mornings feel like goodbyes
My mind is clearer
But my heart has died

I find apologies so easier now
I don't hold on to grudges
Because bound to my soul
Is an unpackable luggage

A box of memories with a tune so beautiful
Is my last prized possession in this lonely rut
I'd give anything to hear its song again
But it's glued forever shut

So ill spend every day of my new life
Focused on the power of compassion
Let go of this unforgivable past
And pray for a love to last in
