The fire is rushing in
As every wall begins to crumble
That beating sound
It feels like the earth is falling down

But with that fire in your eyes
I can see when it ignites
Your heart races right beside mine
So hold my hand and promise
You nor I will never let go

The ocean glistens like diamonds
But all I can see are your eyes
The way they search into me
Like when you can picture the mountain
And there’s a sun break like a reef

But with that look in your eyes
I can see through the depths
The waters and the mountains
The treacherous hills we climbed
Please fall right back into me

Just lay with me my dear
In our bed covered in flowers
Where we share our deepest fears
And plainly love each other
Where the night turns day
Way too quick
I’ll forever wake to your morning kiss

You have saved me, my dear.
I hope I save you, my love.

There was a time when I cried myself to sleep
Days that seemed like they would be my last
Promises made that we could never keep

There was a time when I thought that love must not be for me
That pain and aching was all I could ever be
A life I felt I could never see

With the struggle of life
And three kids of my own
It seemed like all I could be was alone

The shell of my world was so thick and so scarred
The walls I had built were even taller than before
I hoped nothing would reach me
But boy, was I wrong

Your eyes light up the darkest space
Your love fills the empty place
This thing called my heart
Was pumping anew
Since the day that I met you

Although this world isn’t fair
And we have seen this firsthand
I promise to always be there
I love you more than I can bare

This love I have for you is proof
That even on our darkest nights
The light will shine through

We’ve added more love
To this family of ours
Our home is a dream
I don’t think either of us thought we’d ever see

You always stand up so tall
And take care of my heart
You cannot stand to see me fall

But when we are both so in tune
With the love that we share
This can cause us pain
We wish we didn’t bare

I will stand tall with you
And fight for your love
I’ll fight for your happy
Until I am through

When we say the words, I Do
I know they will mean as much to you
As they do to me
In this cold dark world
I promise to always keep the light on for you

This shell that holds these thoughts inside can feel like such a prison
Every word that passes through can hurt with such precision
Jumbled screams within my mind cut tears through my weary eyes
If I could just come up for air, breathe the light and let it out

These thoughts they come and go like the seasons
Sometimes words weigh so heavy on the mind
So just stay right here, let the sunshine through

My beating heart should be enough
But sometimes it cannot be heard
Over the cries and screams
Inside my head
Please soothe me with your touch

I’d cry out for you in the deepest sleep
And you’ll always be by my side
To help unravel these seemingly worthless feelings
And bring me back to earth
