Tattered and broken, I was before.
Never thought love was more than a chore.
Believed it was all a charade and a game,
Of reckless hurt, pain and shame.
Tears came always with thoughts of love,
Bitterness in place of happiness above.
Saw all things through shattered glass,
Music horrid through rusty brass.
Where did I leave the hope so wanted?
Abandoned, alone, afraid and forgotten.
I danced once, forgotten how...
Took the last chance, it's ended now.
Flipped around the world is seen,
No more hopes and broken dreams.
I tried to fight it, yes I did.
Lost the battle fled and hid.
Did I give up to soon?
Written word, sung to tune.
A poem I write, for you alone.
To tell you a tale, of me when I mourn.
A light in my life you brought to me,
Caring gentle and so very free.
Lifted I feel, joyful and warm,
Weathered against a new rising storm.
Left without recourse you've left me to be,
Scared, but sheltered it seems to me.
A light in the dark is shinning to you,
My heart say yes, please let it be true.
Weary am I, bout these feelings for you,
I wonder if you question them too?
I never doubted the truth of this fashion,
Nothing can make me want with more passion.
In your thoughts for this night,
Include a moment of me, with delight.
For you rest, deeply, in my mind.
Always you seem, easy to find.
In life past an' future this has been told,
To you alone, I shall reveal and unfold.
The cloudy past is behind, grown have I come,
My feet have been set on a path with a different drum.
The ending I've come to, of this little rendition.
But bear with me a while, during my decision.
With faith and Joy I give unto you.
All that is me, all that is true.
But know above all, my choice in this life,
I love you. Takes care of all strife.
Remember it always in the fights and the tears,
Through everything thought of, even the fears.
Into you hand I deliver my soul.
My heart you have already, to carry and hold.
I'm not perfect, never claimed to be.
Please take me for me, there isn't more to see.
I shall love you forever, and more than a day,
I worry and fret, because I just want you to say.
I love you too...
It isn't too much to ask of you?
I hope it's not true.
Because this is for you.
Typed words on a page, makes sense to me
Deep inside, where I've hidden my hope to be.
I know what I ask is true.
So this real question I pose to you.
Without fear of commitment, or restraining chains,
With a few simple lines and joyful refrains.
Please give me a chance,
We shall sing, we shall dance...
And together we shall soar,
From mountain to shore.
