Frail my hands your soul

In your eyes I have seen my future falling,

into the very waters in which you possess me.

In your hands my heart wades as life ends,

wrought my plans for destiny failed.

Taking away the light to face the shadows,

under the wings my eternal flames need you.

No way to feel without you in my arms,

hands meaning nothing as the emptiness comes.

Star of wishing dreams reality sets in play,

no dreams to feel while in the arms of hope.

Pierced through my heart this love breaks in,

willing to be the reason temptation has fallen.

There was always a reason I couldn’t explain,

past all beliefs of understanding my way.

Hell becoming the light as heaven fades away,

reaching into a heart as beautiful as this.

I am no longer the loneliness found inside,

but new meanings for misunderstanding my soul.

In these tears I weep now storms are created,

forged in our blood this dying song of love.

Resting my eyes failing to blindly walk along,

loving words destined to become what we are.

To know the way behind this dream crashing down,

we fall as one star shooting across our hearts.

Laying in the shadows knowing only who we are,

fate smiles again as time professes its need to end.

Kissed by lips as cold as the ice within my hands,

emptiness fading away in a world of light so frail.
