Loved by her I plea

I have waited for just a sign,

a name to say by her light.

Found in water do I pray,

without words left to say.

To love as she did I please ask,

falling into what now is last.

Facing my demons do I cry,

as she walks away from my eyes.



I love you even if you can’t see,

in my heart there is only your name.

I wait for your soul to know,

how much I love you this day.

I am too afraid to shed these tears,

not knowing what you might think of me.



I have held you once and I see you name,

tattooed on my eyes your face.

Covered up as I bleed this night,

making the moon my way out.

I love you but you will not see,

how much you mean to me now.



What I am is more than lost,

as my tears fall to this night.

Now I speak as I cry,

to know what I was before.

But in my silence I know,

I was never anything to your heart, you lied….
