Call everyone you know
to sit on this bench of love
Though you put all your weight upon it
though you let out your anger on it
with a hammer
Scratch it
Cover it
Paint it black
it WILL NOT break
Though you engrave your worst thoughts
on its surface
and sprinkle it with lies
Though you spit on it
give your body, soul and spirit to another lover on it
It will not even
    creak or
         move

Though you may try to test it out on many people
take it to a place as dark as night
and let snakes and scorpions crawl around it
and though you question it
until you’re blue in the face
It WILL NOT
BREAK

Call all your friends
to sit on this bench of love
and let them be calm
and let them stop fighting
let them know the Truth
etched deeply in its wood
Let them stop trying to prove it weak
and worthless
and fake
because it
WILL
NOT
BREAK

I've been torn down the middle
I've been split into two
Half of me loves you
But part of me is through

It's so hard to be with you
But so hard to stay away
So I wonder what to do
Each and every day

I know in my heart
That something has to be done
But I know in my soul
This battle can not be won

So now we've come to a point
Where I stay or I run
Could this really be over
Could we really be done?

When I saw you after a long time,
I could not refrain my smile,
but you din't reflect at me.
I felt rejected and I refrained my thoughts.
I was happy to see you again,
because my heart cried,
when you were absent.
Without you, the days were empty,
beats were dead and
the way was so long to walk.
The magic flowed in when you walked around
but it's shine is fading away
like the setting sun,
but the sun that has set has to rise again.
Once again, that's how I console myself,
when you left me alone again.
I smiled to myself
and walked ahead,
like the last time.

Baby, If this is a dream don't wake me up,
If this is real, don't let me sleep,
For I've dreamed this moment forever and ever,
Lying in your arms, am finally free.

No longer am i a lost soul,
No more do i feel the burden in my chest,
The weight on my shoulders has been lifted,
and my heart is no longer heavy.

I've walked the rocky roads for a thousand miles,
Never even for a moment that i thought,
I wouldn't come home to you darling,
I knew I would make it and now I belong forever to you.

The years wasted and the tears tasted,
Lost on the path with no road signs,
people left behind, shattered dreams too,
Everything was a travesty without you.

I've been wounded and scarred,
But you kept me going,
And now I've been healed by your touch,
And nothing can take you from me now.

I don't want to look back at the travesties,
Nor do i want to fill my eyes with tears,
Thinking of what I've been through,
For all I ever wanted was to be with you.

Every step that I've took,
Every tear that I've shed,
Every sacrifice that I've made,
All has lead me to you.

The tallest of mountains,
The lowest of Valleys,
The widest of rivers,
Nothing  stopped me from getting to you.

And now I lay in your loving arms,
I don't want to be anywhere else,
For I've finally found you,
I've found myself in you.
