Like the light that guides your way
I will protect you and keep you safe
Sheathing your feet from hurting stones
As long as there's breath in me
Till the last mile of the way

Like the star in your darkest night
I will be there in the saddest days
Brightening up your face again
As long as there's a trace of distress
Till the darkness gives way to light

Like the shadow in the nights
I will be with you forever and for always
Staying by your side as the clock ticks
As long as you keep me
Till the last day of eternity

Love is the cure,
for your pain will keep giving birth to more pain
until your eyes constantly exhale love
as effortlessly as your body yields its scent.”

I risked the life of mine
To see you smile
I chanced everything
To be there when you needed me
I paid no heed to authority
To be at your command

I gave you my all
Everything you ever wanted
Hoping you'd be mine someday
Who am I to blame you
When I got my hopes up so high
That we'd ever be more than friends

Stripped of everything I once had
Now I am the one
With nothing more to give
Confined to misery
Alone in utter darkness
How was I to know
That trying to win you over
I had become your prisoner

I'd give my life
To resurrect the love
We once shared
Except it was never there
Only a wild imagination it was
On my part
A fantasy never to become reality.

Nevertheless I held on
Hoping, and praying
That I'd be one day awoken
From a nightlong nightmare
Into the light of day
Yet it seemed to only lengthen
The more I waited.

Being but a mortal being
My hopes dashing
My fears multiplying
Slowly breathing in my fate
Accepting reality as it is
But still hoping, and praying
To arise to the light of day.
