~ Reviving Love ~
I will stand beside you-
I will fight for us-
I will never let you fall-
Love keeps us standing up.
.
My footing slips-
Wipe away that fear-
I want to look away-
Your frozen wide eyes-
Scared, I can feel it in your soul-
Don't make that sound-
Let the tears leave your eyes.
.
It is impossible-
I can still see you moving-
Hear your voice whisper in my ear-
How can all this be over?
Maybe I'm trapped in a cycle-
A paradox of emotion-
Tempting me on and on-
To remember the good times.
.
Break free from it's hold-
No more illusions to watch-
Wake up to reality-
Tell me the truth of the present-
Where are you now?
.
Where are we all now?
What has happened to this earth we fought for?
Why can I hear my mother's voice calling?
A soft wave whispers-
"Son, come home."
.
But it cannot be-
I'm still fighting-
I must!
Have I truly fallen-
Have I lost you in the dust-
Raised from the swirling hell-
The rabble of demons-
Surrounding my form.
.
Lifted in your arms-
Recall me to Heaven-
A home must be remembered-
Even when burned to the ground-
Ashes contain memories-
As well as a store of faces-
Familiar, all-
But not a one-
I have seen on earth-
But the time before.
.
Up we soar-
Your skin is so warm-
The salty tears wet my face-
Are they mine or yours?
.
I can see the stars once more-
But my eyes are closed-
Are they not?
I cannot believe-
That everything is not lost.
.
Broken, I lay-
Bleeding, I cannot tell-
I cannot see-
Anything-
But your voice I still hear-
.
Beckoning.
Return to me, my love.
Return to me.
Loving.
.
Blink once, twice-
Your gorgeous angel face-
Sad, happy, smiling-
But glowing with tears.
The edges of your hair curls-
And I haven't seen anything as beautiful.
.
Surely this must be Heaven-
The gates have opened-
To you-
I would not have made it-
Had you not carried me.
.
We are together-
We are happy, we are free-
We are in love-
Blessed, to be together-
Always.
.
Longing-
Forever-
Alone-
But together.
