I wanna hold your hand...

Captured by your essence
I stand alone
The tides rip between us like a vast space
Larger than the universe disagreeing with the passion between us

How is this love wrong when its pure
How is this love forsaken by all but you and me
How long will we be able to finally be one

How long will it be until the calm brings peace to everyone
I don’t know if I can keep surviving like a partridge in a pear tree
Alone and desolate
Sitting perched on my branch

Although we are apart you keep me surviving
You help me hold on to my breath
Your words bring me a bewildered love

This cage can’t hold it much longer

The sand in the hour glass of time seems to be going slower
As if we will never be again

My darling you tell me it will only be a little longer
But I can’t wait much longer
I can’t keep this love away

I want to stand up to the masses and show them our love
Show them the beauty we have created
Show them its more than just your hand in mine

Fire

I miss you
I miss you
I crave your touch

My body aches from not having you

Its as if a hole was ripped from within my soul
I am completely naked and exposed
Come back to me so that I can feel clothed again

So that I don’t feel like the crack in the ground is going to swallow me whole
Like the darkness is my new light
Like I will keep feeling this excruciating pain for the rest of my days

Pain that burns and bubbles inside me
Torturing my heart day in and day out

Does this not pain you
Do you not burn like the face of the sun

You say you had no choice but I don’t believe you
Not when I know that we used to have a different fire within us

Now the fire is raging
Trying to take it all back
Fire that consumes everything until this forest becomes bare

Lifeless
And barren
