The Depth We Crave

The memory of times past
Within lies shadows cast
Of bridges burned 
And lessons learned
Leaving a heart that aches

As snow soon melts away
The ashes slowly decay
But scars remain
As does the pain
Then rivers flow to lakes

For nothing will ever be the same
But there is no one left to blame
You made a choice
You used your voice
One yes and everything changed

For one yes, is a billion no's
A billion open doors close 
No more chase
No more race
One path becomes arranged

Within lies the question 
The power of suggestion
What is the absolute "truth"
And where can I find the "proof"

Is life an obligation
Or a simple calculation 
Maybe a concept never conceived
Or a power never believed

For love is a strange word
A beautiful song rarely heard
An idea that draws attention
But is stuck with suspension
When will we find the depth we crave
