Tonight I lose my great love

To a person

To a sin

To a memory

Tonight I lose my heart

To the destiny

Of a million souls

Of a million stars

Strewn across

A thousand galaxies

And a hundred dreams

Tonight I lose my soul

To a yesterday

Of countless shadows

To a tomorrow

Of a multitude of tears

Eager to fall

Tonight I lose myself

And in losing bound myself

To the chains of great love

Brandished with the name

Of one who can give both

Unparalleled joy

And matchless pain

The echoes bounce of the walls

Silent screams of silent hearts

permitted
the walls attune themselves
to the murmurs of a tragic soul
and
provide comfort
with their concrete grasp

I embrace them

welcoming the warmth of stone in twilight
rather than lay cold under a blanket of stars

it’s much like a star now
glimmering a million leagues away
present and eternal
that shines even without
being chosen to be seen

a silent echo
through a canopy of dream

Dancing around the twilight fire

hearing the stars’ echoing cry

tonight the sky with us conspires
to seal us into you and I

let’s just fall
fall into you and I

Yesterday’s a world away

and tomorrow is yet to be born
here, now is where we’ll stay
free from a world of hate and scorn

let’s just fall

fall into you and I

the air around us
will keep us safe
from harsh words and tears
and your arms around mine
will hold us back
from the horror of coming years

here in this place of dream
where the starfall and the mist meet
where all words form perfect rhyme
forever keep this stitched in time
