Rising heart of fall

I have tried to be the forever in your heart,

washed away by the very water that holds me.

Flowing sadly into fruition my soul divides,

awaiting for just a sign that you’re still here.

Chest opened up to reveal the darkness within,

reminded by the sunlight how far I have fallen.

Subtle words from lips of honey I devise,

reaching into your arms to live life as one.

I see the shades of shadows cold as ice before me,

taking my heart from light to be the evil inside.

Your hands have held me closer than my own,

comforting the pain that always leads me away.

In love or out of love I stand before you now,

hoping that in my devilry you still find me beautiful.

Hears in hands and hands on hearts we come together,

placed beneath of the waves, controlled by this water’s lover.

Eyes of night convey to me reasons for my fall,

explanations to why I ever needed to dance alone.

Singing songs of passion’s flame my eyes are open to you,

as in my light your love becomes the need I rise again.
