I war on
I have watched the sun rise in your eyes and set upon my heart
Anchoring me there in this heartache
I love you
I miss you
I do not want to live without you
I made the mistake of choosing God over you
And then of choosing you over God
Now I am lost to the art of dreaming
Fighting to stay asleep
In the hopes I will see you again
The sunset silver of your hair
The sky blue of your eyes
And that brilliant smile
That gives me such pride
I know I have betrayed you
And screamed your name in the rain
But as the drought comes
And the toads go to weeping
I croak
Breaking my glass throat on the declarations of love for others
I am numb
This has all become too much
I love you
I miss you
Please come back to me and make me your baby
Please forgive me for all I did not understand
Please be mine again if you ever were
The sanctuary that was your arms haunts me
I have lost more than one thousand tears
Over you
I should have bottled them and sent them on
The tides of the ocean with a message
To forgive me
I should have given up but I cannot forget the sound of your voice
As you sang Ophelia
And I fell backwards to what I hoped was my death
To be with you forever and again
So many motives for one silent crime
So many lies to sustain this decaying mind
Let Jesus come and take this dead heart to God
For you have no need of me
and my eyes have gone dry
there is no longer any need to be alive
I loved you most before I lost my mind
Then loved you more as the time became lye
To heal these wounds
I have forgotten you
And now you come to me
Speak to me and I am lost
What can I do to prove to you my love
What can I say to convince you to stay
All I am is a creation for your love
And I will wait patiently for your touch
Until the end of time
Dust to dust
Lay me down to die in your embrace.
