Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
You presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
My Immortal - Evanescence
Lyrics courtesy of www.lyricsmode.com
Above are the opening stanzas for Evanescence's "My Immortal".It is very simple,very poignant....
I had recently been captivated by this song and when I went through its lyrics,I can't help but feel that the aforementioned stanzas just seems to resonate with life in general.
Away from the context of the song and by extension,away from the context of an estranged relationship,it seems to pretty much sum up life in general.
Trials and tribulations are but inexorable facts of life and while you do emerge stronger from each episode,in my humble opinion,it is an equally unyielding fact of life that a certain part of you died in each episode;that while time does seem to numb the pain,it can never erase the wounds for each time you find yourself in a similar situation,you would be afraid to commit like you have had done the previous time,not necessarily because the protagonists are as frightening but because you do not know if your shattered spirit can pick itself up like the other time nor if your battered and bleeding heart can take another blow....
