In a thought you whisper

Skies like the water before me so clear,

beyond the depths of tragedy is my heart.

I see into your thoughts whispering hope,

where love and pain play in the rain I cry.

Clouds of gray pierce the flesh of black so red,

calling me home to your arms once again.

I will answer the call you scream in silent verse,

a song I have waited far too long to enjoy.

Leaving on the wind my wings too weak to fly,

guide me with your love, show the way in your eyes.

In my darkness you have always been the candle,

burning strong without reservations of holding back.

Soaring high above the world in a dream we embrace,

Fate of Destiny crying a new song for us to share.

Holding hearts in hands I remember you loved,

how quickly we fell into this existence we now see.

The waters edge so close as we dance under brighter skies,

holding our love inside of a box masked in hearts.

Nothing breaking the waves of yesterday like our tomorrow,

hanging on for the last star in your eyes to fade away.

More than the dreams I have endured to find you finding me,

in so much darkness my light somehow caught your kiss.

Taken out of the loneliest places to hold you so close,

under the guise of pain we found what love truly was.

No tears save these I shed now for this moment to stand,

I beseech you to hear my voice one more time.

In the waters of our love I listen for your eyes,

whispering to me the only song we both know.
