Letters....

I watch you read those letters

In the silhouette's of night

placing papers neatly down

'neath the candle's dull and flickered light

and I wonder what it meant to you

from all those passed by years

you never gave me much to know

what hurt your love and drove your tears

and I didn't want to question much

the beauty of disguise

for some it is a madness drawn

written softly , within the eyes..

And I only know I love you so

for this , I know is true

even though your mind has left

I take and bless the heart of you

and I feel the pain of loneliness

as I watch you read those lines

can love be lonely, lost in time

secret heartaches, scared and blind...

For secrets are my destiny

a hidden, devil's curse

and wait for daylight,  raising grace

for surely darkness brings the worst

and love can dance on poisoned wing

driftwood through the trees

all alone with splintered hearts

never knowing how to bleed

for love is mine to seek and find

beyond the dreams of make believe...


And I watch you read those letters

In the silhouette's of night

counting every breath you take

'neath the candle's dull and flickered light

'neath the candle's dull and flickered light....
