I reach for your hand,
and I give a soft squeeze.
I lean my head back,
and enjoy the warm breeze.

I take in the sight,
of the snow covered peaks,
as the tears stream my face,
and I wipe off my cheeks.

The top of the world,
is a beautiful place,
but it still doesn't match,
the smile on your face.

You have given me hope,
when all hope was lost,
and you've shown me that love,
can come at no cost.

You believed in me,
when no one else would,
and you stand by my side,
where no one has stood.

You have taken my heart,
and pieced it back whole.
You’ve  helped me to stand,
and gave me back my soul.

I don't know what to say,
for all that you do,
and for the love that you give me,
and your selflessness to.

But I can promise you love,
until the end of all time,
and I'll stand by you forever,
with your hand safe in mine.

My sweet, beautiful angel,
the love of my life.
My reason for living,
and my soon to be wife...

I cradle your affection
In the palm of my hand
Like a seed so small
That if I am not careful
I might just lose it

where did we go - were we just erased?

from this cage,
where we settled our remains into a mountain we tried to escape out of,

from this garden of panic,
where we planted our hearts into tulips,
where we refused to pluck them, in fear they would sprout into weeds,

from this nest of lust,
where we gathered broken bones instead of leaves,
where we fed the other in hopes to starve ourselves.

from this river of guilt,
and these lips that never spoke,


my shadow creeps towards a sky that’s forgotten how to breathe,
your eyes close, hazing into a soprano moon.

It sings us both to sleep.
