To live is To die

For you to live forever unable to die The horrors you have seen drive you mad Your mind tries to protect you from these horrors With false memories in an attempt to keep you sane For you wondered to far from my love From my protection Your heart could not bare the pain that I shielded from you I could not whip the tears from your checks nor hug you Or provide the shoulder you need to cry on For you had wondered to far from my love I had searched through out time and space for you looking for you Hunting for you only Now to find you lost and confused All of this because of a small tiff A fight by my cause A deadly mistake it was for it could have killed If I had not found you when I did I have forgotten what the fight was over but I’m sure it was my fault for it drove you Away from me Away from my love Away from my protection So it is up to me to show you how sorry I am It is up to me to protect you to love you To help you remember For my soul too shall never die it shall live on for ever till times runs out But if I were to lose you now that I have found you To lose your love you have for me Would be a death all in itself
