Solace

When caring for you was not enough
When crying for you was not enough
When loving you was not enough

I let you go

Facing my worst fear
Realizing my heart could mend
From the pain and suffering
From the anguish and desolation
Finding solace and acceptance

I blindly embraced the hope of another season
of another smile
of another touch
of another joy

What is born and lives
Will wither and die
What I loved and cherished
Turned to strength and wisdom

If there is a heaven
We will lie next to each other again
If there is a chance
We will be together again
If there is another lifetime
We will love again

Shine

Gently lead me toward this secret path
We walk together at long last
Come hold my feverish hand
Let’s walk barefoot in the sand
Lay your head on my shoulder
I wanna feel us getting closer
Reveal the desires suggested by your smile
Patiently make the pleasure last for awhile
Look at how your bright eyes shine
This image burns indelibly in my mind
The moon wanes in the soft night
Behold a wondrous, beautiful sight
Capture the symphony of a lover’s silhouette
This amazing moment we must not forget

Gone

You promised me the sun and moon
Yet in a flash you left so soon
You promised to love me forever
Yet I discovered your words held no leverage
You made my heart turn into stone
And left me dying all alone
I will never overcome this betrayal
My body and soul have grown frail
How could you be so cold?
And deliver such an evil blow?
I try not to cry
Now that we’ve severed our ties
Our love will drift into oblivion
When will I be whole again?
