Oblivion
A whisper in the dark
A shout in to the noise
A fear of the one who catches my eye
Unextraordinary is all I see
In the mirror in front of me
A breath I cannot take
An imperfection in every wake
Perfection is not the word for me
Neither is infinity
With uncertainty as my life
Why bother to bring in light?
But the more I hide in the dark
The more you come with a fire
Like a grenade I shall explode
I shall destroy
As water fills me up
I drown those around me
I shall not bring you down
Not with me into this depth
After my darkness you still fight with a light
Giving me hope and giving me life
A chance to live a dream that is not yours
To make me believe in infinity as a choice
In the sky I feel my hope
Away from here do I feel a prize
With you who carries such a great light
I feel alive
Feeling our connection grow
I see your imperfections show
Like I am you and you are me
In that there is immortality
But then your light turns to gray
I feel the ache of the pain
With every cell lighting up
With no one to make it stop
The feeling of our infinity going astray
I can't help but remember and pray
I thought you were the only light
But now you have given me a life
One to cherish with all my might
I can't thank you enough for your time
For even in a short time
Have you given me a life time
I know the stars don't favor our love
But you cannot choose to ignore it
You cannot choose if you get hurt in this world
But you do have a say in who hurts you
