What do I have to say
except, “I love you”?
All the other words
are failing me.
You’ve been the reason
that I’ve fought
these battles.
Struggled on
despite my frailty.
As we grow,
I hope our hearts follow.
Feed them all the love
we’ve ever known.
But this world is hard,
even when it’s shallow.
Makes our cares as heavy
as a stone.
Stop wondering
there’s only one thing
that brings life
to the desert.
It seems that despite
our best efforts we cling
to the things that bring
us down,
so we can’t fuck around.
Our love is all we have.
One gift, one hope, one chance.
One breath, one blood, one life
and I know I’d give mine.
Forever you.
Never be stumbling and staggered.
Not fumbling with what doesn’t matter,
uncaring and courting disaster.
The end I’ve always wanted
is with you.
I’m lost in the dark without guidance.
Your love is the light that shines brightest.
Oh, woe to what tries to divide us.
I’m never fucking
giving up on
you.
Oh, calm my mind,
before the fire burns me up.
I’m trying to find
a way to make this work for us.
I’ll be blown away
one day soon enough,
but we have today
so we can be in love.
Forever Us.
