the line between want and need
becomes quite skewed
when love is thrown
into the mix.

Once upon a legend
On a day that time forgot
I felt my heart cease beating
And I knew the world had stopped

No wind stirred in the treetops
No more sweet flowers growing
No waves upon the oceans
The rivers were not flowing

The moon lost in the heavens
No place for her to go
Forever left in darkness
No light for the world below

Dawn is never coming here
No new day is being born
The sun will not be rising
Night will not turn into morn

Caught in a painful silence
All earthly life is stilled
The source of this disaster
Is a promise unfulfilled

The promise that you made me
The cruel game you played
The dark truth echoes bleakly
In the heart that you betrayed

I kissed your forehead as you slept
Rested my head upon your chest
Listening to your heart beat

I watched you breath so softy
Touched your face gently
All whilst you were asleep

Love made from honestly and purity
Will last for an eternity
Forever to keep

I dipped my fingers in still waters
And watched the ripples of my intrusion

Yesterday we were born
Now we are here
Tomorrow we will be gone
Just a memory

So the wall around your heart
Is to stop the hurt?
The knots on your forehead
Are warnings to stay away?
The cold around your aura
Is your way of staying afar?

All because you fell in love
Thrown back at you with a shove
Loved with your full body and soul
To be left cold and alone
Shake off your armour of pain
Open your heart to love again

Yesterday has been and gone
And somehow we need to carry on
Stop hiding in the abyss of sorrow
Raise your head and bring on tomorrow
Be proud of who you are
Let someone into your heart

I drive for the journey
Not the destination
What is the hurry?
We are all going to the same place anyway

Enjoy the ride, my friends.
See you when we get there
