Heavy Toll


The time away has cleared my mind
I now can move ahead
Those months of great uncertainty
with phantoms in my head

The issues are now clear to me
I wandered from my course
I tried to fill an emptiness
instead feel great remorse

Sometimes the issues from our past
still hold on to our soul
A gaping wound that never heals
and takes a heavy toll
