it is incredible that you have become the answer to all my prayers.
the shadows that softly held my eyes have returned to their darkened corners.
is there a way around this?
to look but never taste those lips.
to touch and not feel a thing.
to love but not love.
sent to this outcast, a picture of what was to be.
an eternal gift. a life once empty is filled by hope and i overflow.
but in the night the torrent came announcing the worst of times.
angel, you held me beneath the waves to protect me from the storm.
and in this place i lay down my tears, as you breathe life in me.
in this place i give it up.
i give it all away to you.
and there is nothing we can do as the waves of time wash over every part of us.
as we wither and watch all the flowers turn to dust.
it is incredible that you have become the answer to all my prayers.
my sweetest thoughts of you are in circles that never end and flowers that never die.
