Living on hidden island

Searching through another day

Overwhelming heartache

Waiting, filled with emptiness

Whispering thoughts, every night

Hearing silence once again

Tears drowning in sorrow

Waiting for new direction

Making one more decision

Holding torch, ready to light

Prepared to burn last bridge

Waiting to strike final match

Listening again, a voice

Growing stronger each minute

Conscience stirs from abyss

Waiting, no longer needed

Turning life’s page, new chapter

Leaving island at long last

Light leads to happiness

Revealing brilliant sunrise
