In love I died tasting life

Sometimes it was hard just to be able to breathe,
unable to stand on my own as life became my end.
Testing waters of fear under passions and pain,
tears cried in the form of dragons wings.
In my heart I was broken and alone,
people around me as I blended in to the crowd.
So lost and confused I looked for my way,
too much fear controlling my destiny.
Greatly I walked on in my sorrow,
pain my only friend in this path I chose.
Loved by grief in broken dreams so cold,
eyes painting light in darker shadows.
It was there when I came to see her light,
the emptiness just left me there to fall.
Into her arms I cried for something beautiful,
a touch I was never able to feel.
Darkness had my heart on a string breaking away,
caught by a love I now understood.
This was only the start of something perfect,
imperfection paramount in eyes so cold and dark.
She loved me to love me in light so afraid,
when I couldn't find my way, she made it for me.
Too many ways in searching for my demise,
too many thoughts betraying my will to live on.
Letting go of understanding I understood,
all of my ways broken in the eyes I see with now.
Her love for me was beautiful in a heart so ugly inside,
making even my dreams so much more than before.

She has me still.
Still hearts bleeding hope.
Hope for nothing but this love.
Love inside of blind eyes perfection.
Perfection calling destiny.
Destiny Fate our path.
Path for love and light holding hearts.
Hearts crying for fear of love.
Love becoming our only truth.
Truth lies to death calling home.
Home no beautiful in Love's arms.
Arms of painful memories letting go.
Go down this path and find.
Find in my eyes this dream.
Dream of a beauty never known.
Known is my heart now by her.
Her love holding me still in darkness and in light.
