A light inside

In a look I purge myself from the ways I used to feel,

how dark everything was, how empty I had become.

Hating everything I looked at in spite of the beauty,

anger raging machine twisting soul so lost.

In the moment of my death she came to me,

all feelings making who she wanted me to be.

Hard to close my eyes tonight,
feeling your pain so deep inside.
Red all around when we asked for blue,
so calming these waters, finding love in you.
Fingers through your hair as you sleep,
moments like these becoming all that I need.
Heart beating slowly, deep rest within,
time passing too fast when I don’t want it to end.
Facing my fears with you in this light,
asking for darkness, craving the night.
Blessed by a Love somehow I now know,
never wanting to leave, not wanting this feeling to go.
Held together by Love, a Love made for us,
found in our destiny, built in our trust.
Taking away the past we once lived,
not hard for me to love you, so easy to give.
Trying so hard to one day realize,
how I found your Love behind your beautiful eyes.
Tightly holding you as we lay here tonight,
loving the evening, loving your light...
