You lay me down,
A gentle disarray of confound and misunderstood coincidences.
Cover me in a veil of sacred virtues,
non-existent outside this hush chamber.
Shield me from unrelenting scowls, awaiting my presence.
Let me eyes fasten shut,
let my hearing be narrowed to only your voice, a soothing, steady tune
Singing lightly in my mind.
Unleash all my demons from their bonds,
and allow me to sail.
Sail to a distant world,
One beyond their clutches.

Loving you...
Was an out of body experience
Like I was looking through a window,
I watched as we fell in love with each day that passed
The strings distancing our hearts shortening with every kiss
And I watched as I tore it all apart,
fragment by fragment
As if I had no control over it
On this other side of the window
I scream to myself to stop
I can't help but watch in horror
And I can't comprehend
Why I would destroy the best thing I've ever known,
Why I would turn away on the one constant,
The one real, out of this world, crazy, chaotic, beautiful love that I want, that I need
Waiting,
I pray my body and soul join each other once more
So that this nightmare may end
And even though it's surely too late,
I could love you, full force, soul intact
Not from behind this window,
But with my hands resting in yours

And when my eyes finally find comfort in this dark, empty house
Its you I see
Standing beside me on a bridge, telling me don't be afraid
Holding my hand in a field full of sunflowers
Kissing me on the hood of your car
Laying in your bed with your arms wrapped tightly around me
I never knew so many places could feel like home
Yet these places are just places
And you are my home

— The End —
