I can across this the other day
A single tear came from my face
I knew you couldn’t, you wouldn’t stay
I hold the air, you’ve gone without a trace

Somehow those memories are now daggers
Jagged edges, they slice at my skin
I want to step toward you, pain staggers
Like a punch, it breaks my chin

A life we’ll never know till the next one
Our chance was fire, burning with conflict
The shadows are lit, but yet you’re still gone
I loved, so did you, but we always contradict

I’ll fight, I’ll lift, I’ll run, constantly pushing
You’ll live, you’ll love, you’ll experience it all
My journey will be the one that’s crushing
If you find a path, then you must heed the call

It’s something to find heaven covered in hell
I may stumble, there isn’t a fall too far
Inside your heart it’s safe, I can see & tell
My love wasn’t misplaced, it’s never a scar

Lay down beside me and you will discover
Behind the curtain is a soul not so tarnished
Holes & cracks full, but with time to recover
In your arms I feel peace, your love harnessed

It comes and goes, like a nightmare in a dream
It stabs me, but it holds me tightly
The best things are never what they seem
Thank you for the strength to fight so rightly
