Embrace
I've always felt alone
Never to feel an assuasive embrace
And as I sit beside you
I don't need dreams to tell my fate
Of lonesome, bereaved heartache
In this moment I long to share
With the sky hastily darkening
Does anyone seem to care?
Come and sit a bit closer
See the reflection of silvern stars
Feel the caress of cool winter winds
You sit near, yet ever so far
I feel like you will depart soon
Never living, never knowing
Of my solitude beside you
Of the tenderness not showing
You've felt the claws of evil
You've lived the scars of pain
I know you're afraid of coming close
Thinking you'll be pushed away
Death has scratched your feelings
Made you recoil from the touch
Of anyone who longs for you
Be it love or be it lust
I swear that I won't do that
My emotions are not skin deep
I can look past the cloth and weaponry
To the hero underneath
Fate can take you away from me
I know it will in some way
But don't plan for the future
Live life as it should be, day by day
I can see your heart is pounding
I can see you edging near
I can see your hand intertwining
And what we're feeling is clear
Time will take you away from me
And I want this last goodbye
Let this moment last forever
Let my heart cease its eternal cry
Promise you'll never leave me
Promise you'll never forget
Even when times are hardest
Even when you've no memories left
