One deep breath after another

Trying to calm my fanatic heart

You said forever and ever

And that never shall we part

So where are you now,

When I need you the most?

Where are you lying?

Was all your love a boast?

Every time you leave my soul screams

I crave your presence beside me

I gave you my heart and its lock

And only you have its key

Every word you whisper while I sleep

Safe and silent in your bed

And every time you don’t return

I recall the words you said

Waiting up for your arrival

I hear the door creak late into the night

With your mussed up hair and black eyes

You are quite a sight

You lie and say all is fine

The pain thick in your voice

I know you were fighting

You cradle me with a hoist

You tell me not to worry

I know you were fighting for us

Lost in your eyes, I believe

You do as you must

As I fall asleep you whisper again

Your love and pain a dragonfly’s song

Quite and flittering your voice fills

And I know you could never be wrong

Red-crystal eyes and white pearl skin

You’re perfect in every way

I tell you I love you

And there is nothing more to say
