For me, you are

I will always be here waiting for your touch to divide me,

spoken whisks of wings falling to what is known as life.

Under the waves my waters riddle my song,

beneath me rests the air that consumes my way.

I will be here with desire in my heart for another kiss,

unable to breathe when your lips touch my own.

Pirouetting to passion’s loving call we play,

in songs where our beating hearts praise.

I will be here to comfort your tears as you cry,

my arms will never be too weak if you fall.

In my hands is the truth of knowing me,

how I resist to fade just by seeing your face.

I will burn in hell to rescue you from the flames,

give to me your sin, it is mine to take away.

In your eyes I will always lift up your name,

again and again under different stars tonight.

I will be here to love you, I will be here to stand,

in all that we are, together is the light inside.

As you close your eyes I will sing you to sleep,

bathed in black my red heart holds your own.

Never will I let go of who you are to me,

protecting you from life in its twisted cry for death.

As I wait here tonight for you to look deep into my eyes,

I know who I am only for understanding who you are.
