Erased

The days turn to nights, and nights to days
The first sign of light, the challenges raised
To love with every beat, my heart dares to take
My mind rips apart the moment I wake

I’ve loved you from the moment, I looked into your eyes
Never did I think, you’d be riddled with lies
A man that so many, have tried to possess
Has left a path of stories, that have yet to be professed

I’ve dreamt of you a lifetime, hoping to find
A gentle man that loved me, that was good and kind
Never would I have thought, that life would disguise
The pain that was hidden, far beneath those eyes

I held you so closely, to my breast as you sleep
To feel the peace rise, from the days that repeat
The cycles turn swiftly, our nights in your head
As one tries to love you, aside you in bed

My soul was opened, doors having no key
For there is no one else, to compare to for me
We’ve danced in the moonlight, and made love to the songs
Of every moment in life, even the ones that’ve gone wrong

You know not why I love you, I have made my plea
But my words are all broken, and you no longer hear me
You are in my dreams, my gentle man I say
I beg you to remember, and not walk away

Know that I love you, for all that we are
The years passed quickly, but haven’t changed us so far
I know that you love me, as you remind me you do
But then you push me away, for something to do?

How many times I’ve heard, “you love me too much”
But when I share the same, you tell me not such
Your words are twisted, and actions run wild
While I stand here watching, feeling as lost as a child

I can never be what repairs you, for your life lived in the past
I only have to offer, this role I’ve been cast
To feel empty in love, while you run your path
Knowing all that I have given, can be erased in a wrath

Please hear me, please know… I’m as confused as you
For all that I say, and all that I do…
Was for you
