The chase endures

The eyes and the heart, viewed from within
Her ability to scream, her invitation to sin
I am lost in her wake, I am alive to the pain
She called out my name, as if only to blame
I fell at her feet, exhausted, I entered belief
Haze in my mind, never realized my crime
The next morning began, awake I declined
I had to end the chase, I had to live again
As this world's lost to me, life a mystery
I pray not to fail while I pray not to fall
I pray to be ready, I pray to be whole
