Not all is lost

Not all can be lost in the midst of so much.

Not all can be lost in the thought of your touch,

And the sound of your sighs, the indescribable look

With brightening eyes and the patience it took.

Perhaps I have given you no more than you deserve,

And still what do I possess that was more than your words?

Hold me; hold me now like you did before,

Before the disillusionment before love swayed to war.

Call to me tell me my name, so I can answer

And you can know that I came. My love

I only want to feel safe with my heart in your hands.

I only want to be close enough to feel you from where I stand.

I remember candle light and sharing souls I remember long

Stairs into starlit eyes and bearing the scares we wore

Compared to recent wounds. Hush now it rains,

When your eyes mist over my old pains ache,

Like my wrist and my heart in my chest,

You are all of the things I've grown to like best.

So you lied and I feel you steeling my perception of us,

Slowly returning head down with my mad mangled trust.

As the ground shook I felt it all lost.

I know that’s not true, I know that I must

Know something of who you are,

You’re the same sweet handsome boy,

Who first made me see stars.

And a brand new mark among the scars on my heart.
