If I go back to the beginning;
Where it all began.
Could I change the way it ended?

What if I held you tighter?
What if I let you breath a little more?
Did I ask the right questions?
Did I ask too much?

I saw salvation in your eyes;
And perhaps that was too much.
I let my weight down off my shoulders;
Did I accidentally put that on you?

Would that I could go back to the start
That beautiful beginning where I had
All of your heart?

I keep the long night; it’s lonely now.
I know you won’t return; but the watch I keep.
I stare past my reflection in the window. I know;
Your not there and you won’t be but still;
The watch I keep.

I gave you a piece of me; you took it with you.
I’ll never get it back; but still the watch I keep.
I hope you’re well and you find what you seek.
I’ll be here. The watch I’ll keep

Sometimes the only way;
To get through the pain;
Is to give the price; you must pay.
So pour on the agony; let it rain.

Turn it into a crucible; forge yourself;
Don’t let anything touch you ever.
Become iron; become steel itself;
And you will be hurt never

When everyday is harder; Fight!!
When you grow tired of this world; Fight!!
When everything goes wrong and nothing
seems right; Fight!!

Make your mark on this world;
We deserve you and everything about you;
Fight!!
You are important even if sometimes you
feel turned.
One day we will build you up and make you anew.
Fight!!

Do not deprive us of you because you would only make the world a darker place.

So fight!!

Roses are many shades.
When has violet been blue?
I could go on for days;
About how much I love you

Here is my heart; take it it’s yours.
It’s bruised and scarred from others.
But if you could please make it whole;
I’ll give it to no other; it’s forever yours.

I love you; I am here;
I always will be I always want to be;
So take my hand because I love you.

You’re smile is enough to lift;
All of this off my shoulders;
I live for these moments; I long for them.
Watching you grow; Watching you become;
Something more; watch you grow to where you belong;
I watch my faith grow in your heart;
I watch the truth glow and I see the start;
Of a beautiful thing; of this relationship

At first just a crack;
A glimpse inside, I’ve lowered them;
Just for your viewing;
What will you do once included?
Will you play the same?
The women before you the game?
Where you tear at my soul;
Where you taste another?
Will you leave me broken and foul?
I hope not, I wish not, I want so bad;
For you to be the one;
The one I’ve waited for; the one to heal
And so with loose hands I hold you;
I wait, I choke, and I hope.
Please be the one; Please be for me;
I won’t so bad to watch them crumble

It’s dark here now;
Where am I? Who am I?
There’s pain in the dark;
So much pain...
You left, took the light, and never said goodbye.
How? How has this become all that I am?
There was happiness I remember it;
It’s faint now; like the memory of the lips
of a lover long forgotten;
Why didn’t it last? What did I do wrong?
I can barely remember in the beginning
I can barely remember anything good at all.
All I know now is the dark;
There’s pain in the dark;
Have I become the dark?

There are givers and there are takers in this world;
Every relationship must be symbiotic;
Each gives and each takes from the other;
Too much giving and you will wind up empty and dead inside;
Too much taking and you will destroy your partner and be alone;
Beware that you do not fall in the rut of over giving or over taking;
Share a balance with your partner, build one another or alone you will find yourselves replaced with others

I’m at the edge of your sciences and religions;
Full of flaws;
When first I’m discovered;
I’m sharp and raw;
With age I grow dull and weak;
All but forgot;
But if fought for I’m all you’ve ever sought.
I can make you stand taller than the highest bar;
Make you brighter than any star.
I am love and I am yours.
