The Magic I Once Had

박정현

Every ounce of will

fallen soldiers on the battlefield

the smoking grounds so quiet now

And part of me is glad to have seen the end

I must admit the suspense was killing me

Its death brings peace

And strings tied round my wrist

have found the breeze

now kissing the carnage

as the world moves in to forage

Beyond the distance my eyes persist in

seeing visions of futures like cities of people

And I sigh deeply made love to so sweetly

by every promise it sings me

like memories

of the magic I once had

Desire too fueled by haste

glossy recollections of my past greatness

only proved to cripple me

Defeat itself is draining of energy

and yet the emptiness it has left is freeing

oh it brings me peace

And careless strands of my hair

dance with breezes

kissing the carnage

as the world moves in to forage

Beyond the distance my eyes persist in

seeing visions of futures like cities of people

And I sigh deeply made love to so sweetly

by every promise it sings me

that lures me from

beyond the distance

my eyes play tricks on me

visions of futures like cities of people

And I sigh deeply made love to so sweetly

by every promise it sings me like memories

of the magic I once had

of the magic I once had
