And as time swirls
and passes from hand to hand
this world as yet stands still
due to this call of love
that still beats against my heart
For once lived one cannot forget
that love is everlasting
no matter the pain present
so forgo this innocence
and embrace heartily
this gift which i give to thee
This time as all i have is given
i pray that it not be denied
as i lay myself down at your feet
not for rest or in exhaustion
but offering myself to you
all of me for some of you
And if this time i am forgiven
and you take my hand once more
i will love you same as ever
till this sun that rose this day
never rise again
This day is fearful joy
as i wait heavy hearted
on this shore of hope
i wring my hands in nerves
that in this day you will arrive
but continue to walk right by
as i crumble and fall
Now as the dawn has turned dusk
and the pages of my mind are turning
with tear's staining the pages
i turn and walk away
as i have on every other time
when i held out my hand
and you did not catch hold of me
These years have passed so slowly
since you sailed away leaving me here
but this love still heavy
still making me wander the shore
in search of you, in search of the love
that you swore to I
would never break, never end
never leave
You broke your promise so seamlessly
and left me torn apart
with a heavy laden heart
and tears spun of painfull acceptance
that you could not love me now
as you never did
This field of flowers waver
flowing back and forth
as i lie deserted among them
with this love that never dies..

aw, this makes me want to cry and scream at the same time.
but any human feeling, in it's own little way, is beautiful. -
