one glance sets it off
one word puts everything in motion
one kiss drives it into the Heavens
one tear crashes it in pieces
these walls that held us lie scattered in ruins
I’d ask you but you’d never pull them up
maybe a minute more is all I need
for one heart to change its mind
I’d love you in silence
for in silence
there is no rejection
only the dread of waking
to an unreal dream
You are worthy
it’s nothing tha you’ve done
nor any that you will ever do
Love surrounds you
it breathes on you everyday
willing you to wake
and live
for you are worthy
of the sunshine
and the rain
you are above and beyond all these
halo and all
as these tracks end
at the curve of the bend
I set my sights and forge ahead
these hills no longer sing my song
nor echo the notes I’ve held so long
I set my sights and forge ahead
the clouds give way to a rising sun
and fresh tracks are ever upon me
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
Now is where our hearts reside
yours in pride and freedom
mine in thorns and stains
there was once then
where your and mine
walked hand in hand
then there is later
where you promised pain
and I embraced it
…I know
its over
and we wasted it
our vows
our promises
and a million pixels
worth of memories
one thing I don’t get
…if I was the one who left
why am I the one still here?
…if I was the one who ended it
why am I the one who still loves?
We do not fight for what we already have
nor do we travel to where we have been
to seek what is lost and push through
is to clearly see what is unseen
