Living to die for love

If there comes a time,

can I offer you forever?

As time goes by,

can I love you deeper still?

In a world full of pain,

may I kiss yours away?

If I can be your tomorrow,

will you let me be today?



Spoken words of tragedy rising within my soul,

wanting only your heart to cherish and to hold.

Lighting the way to your arms I find your light,

hidden behind desire in the love in your eyes.

You say to me what you feel as our worlds collide,

bringing out my passion for your heart to design.

Seeking my way to you in this storm of broken love,

I give to you my entirety knowing in you I trust.



In your doorway my hands hold your heart,

never letting go in a life made in water.

You see me when you close your eyes,

yet as I open mine wide I am lost in you.

Spared by fate death has called away my heart,

you hold me tight and never let go of your love.

This time my way is only in your arms,

today I burn for love, today I die for you.



Here are my eyes,

will you cry through them?

This is my life,

can I die for you?

Feel my hands tonight,

will you hold me forever?

As I slip from life,

will you love me in death?
