Staying up, talking on my bed,
Speaking gently, patting your head,
Comfort you, it is all alright,
I'm with you now, here tonight,

Come here, come closer,
My arms enclose her,
Put your head on chest,
I've got you, you can rest,

All else block out,
Squeeze your eyes shut,
To me you can run,
Cuz' you know what,
Always we are  One

Out in the world, pulled appart,
We are bound together, at the heart,
I cannot help, my need for you,
When you leave, I donno what to do,

You are my fix, I can't go without,
A sea of question, swirling about,
But my anchor is set, In your love,
It showers down, on us from above,

All else block out,
Squeeze your eyes shut,
To me you can run,
Cuz' you know what,
Always we are  One

Darling this is the end, of our lives,
Our names were written, in loves archives,
Our times have shown, brighter than fire,
That true connections, never tire,

Ee'n through a blackened veil, in death,
I need you to see, the size of my soul,
I need you to feel, the heat of my breath,
I need you to call out, and make me whole,

All else block out,
Squeeze your eyes shut,
To me you can run,
Cuz' you know what,
Always we are  **One

Hope is what leads me to my death,
Cares crush me as mountains,
Passion grinds salt in my wounds,
Reliance drops me off a cliff,
Desire hangs me by my own,
Belief gouges out my eyes,
Confidence crumbles my supports,
Ambition pushes me into a corner,
Promises tie me to the table,
Optimism tells me there is no pain,
Wishes are ammunition against me,
Conviction chains me to the plow,
Loyalty is a weak cane, shattering,
Chivalry is a masquerade,
Fealty pulls me off my perch,
Honesty sets me to cut myself,
Principles fence me in,
Doctrine tightens the noose,
Courage negates logic,
Determination continues the slaughter,
Trust cannot be found,
Faith kills me,
Then Love revives me to begin again.

I remember when we sang together,
When you freed me from all cares,
Times when there was nothing but today,
I want to keep you here forever,

I feel you growing away,
I feel the breeze blow between us,
Where there was only contact,
Now the wind chills my skin,

I fear deep within that my love is lost,
I fear that you cannot be reconciled,
But yet something tells me to press on,
To do and accept that I may die,

To I reach out grasping for your hand,
I feel the brush I have so long wanted,
Of my hand on your skin,
But I continued to fall away from you,

I am surrounded by black,
I cannot see you in my eyelids,
There is nothing all around,
And still I cannot let you go,

I met you on Wednesday,
You clung to me like syrup,
At first I dragged you along,
You were not so heavy,

I hardly noticed you,
Then a tiny *****,
And I became aware,
Of a looming future,

By Thursday I was worn down,
I was losing stamina,
You pierced my skin,
And dug in deeper,

I threw up, wanted you out,
But you were set, deep within,
My body fought, brave and hard,
But they day ran down, so did I,

Friday came and I succumbed,
The hurt was everywhere,
You tore out my heart,
And cut out my stomach,

I became a shell,
Of my former self,
Hollow and thin,
Defenceless and weak,

And on into Saturday,
You raveged me,
No longer could I fight,
Your toll was taken,

A light shown though,
At the very end,
And I was pulled to,
By strength not mine,

And when I recover,
I still shall bear,
The aweful signs and marks,
Of my four day ordeal,

I know you are distant,
And I am below the radar,
But I need a partner,
To throw my care at,

Someone to feel with me,
Someone who can be there,
Always in my mind,
If not near my body,

I have too much to give,
To continue botttling up,
I have made oceans with tears,
And mountains with favors,

Always working toward you,
Yearning for a companion,
Why is this so hard?
Why do people hide?

I need someone who will think,
To understand my heart,
Then from the prison I built,
I can be finally free,

All the rest is fluff,
The only line that matters,
Is written at the end,
*Will you come with me??

Living in ignorance,
So near to each other,
I could never tell,
What I was feeling,

Amidst a swarm of people,
In a hurricane of drama,
Flying past each other,
I never had the time,

When I came to,
I realized what I knew,
My brain listened to my heart,
And I ran to you,

But you were gone,
You had been swept away,
By a man with flaxen hair,
And eyes like the moon,

I hated him though,
With everything I am,
I burned like a furnace,
I had never met him,

He is my agony,
He haunts my sleep,
My opposition embodied,
The sum of all my rage,

When he began to fade,
I saw one single ray of light,
I put my whole self on the line,
I asked to speak to you,

I was too shy to stay,
I wanted you so badly,
I do not want to rush you,
I care too much,

How could I know,
How hard to push,
How much can I tell you,
Without pushing you away,

I want to tell you but,
This wall is too high,
This chasm is too deep,
Though the unknown,

I will throw myself,
Without another thought,
The longer I consider you,
The crazier I get,

One day I will,
Time will show,
That I am truely,
The man for you.
