Your Voice
I walk these hallowed halls
Straining to hear a voice
A voice I long to hear,
But all I can here is crying,
Tears of crystal pouring on to the cold floor.
You think I would be happy,
I did it, father,
I carried out your plan to the letter
But all I feel is misery
I fear for what I may loose.
What if he leaves me?
I have betrayed him...
It is no less than I deserve...
But I would rather die than loose him
Loose my strength...the light that guides me through darkness
I feel so small, fragile...weak,
I can't continue like this,
All I wish is to hear his voice,
Feel his arms around me,
See his soft smile.
How I long to see you and explain,
"I only did what I did because of my father"
I love you; I never meant to betray you,
But the words die on me,
Without you my hope is gone.
Warm whispers upon the wind,
But such a harsh cold wind it is,
I sit here waiting for you to return,
I may wait eternally but I will not move,
I at least owe you that much.
Now my duty is complete I will be loyal
To you and only you...
But is that enough?
Is it already too late?
Have I lost you?
A horse comes to a stop and someone gets off
I daren't look for I fear it will not be you,
The footsteps edge closer,
Warm arms embrace me
And I hear your words...the words I longed to hear
"I forgive you"
