i swore i saw a life worth living
even after forgiving all his sins
but what it all came down to in the end
was foolishness, an empty kiss
a broken promise, an unheard sigh
all he heard were the whispers of his life being cast aside
he never said goodbye or took the time to explain why it was better that way
i never got the chance to ask him to stay
but it was his selfishness not my words, not the breath it took to utter them
that led him to his death
so i shuttered my heart against hurricane weather and promise myself i wouldn't open to another...
time went by
i thought i saw a spark in the distance
i thought that it couldn't be just happenstance when an old flame reappeared in my life
in my eyes he could do no wrong
maybe i'd just been too long gone
mistaking sympathy for empathy
not realizing he couldn't make me happy
wondering what peace would be
how it would feel to harbor true love in my soul
to be whole again as i never thought i could be
but he proved to me that that was not an option
and i found once again how often people are misled
by images in their head of perfection
and the inflection in his voice when we parted
left no room for being softhearted or weak
and i decided to stop seeking the thing i want more than anything
the thing i couldn't obtain
a love without refrain...
but as i thought my walls were crumbling and i couldn't stand on my own
a blazing figure came to my rescue
a dragon made of stone
and you picked me up and let me see
the beauty of how unconditional love can be
i've never felt my heart beat so clear
my thoughts are like water
and you hear every drop in the river
it feels like spring after an unrelenting winter
you've given me the thing i thought i could never have
things i didn't deserve
you made me laugh again, you made me feel worth
every night when we lay down to bed
you stroke my head and tell me all the ways i am wonderful
and i am left speechless, dumbfounded, and thankful as you could never believe
you've seen a light in me and with time i think i may see it too
not just the light in me, but the light i've seen from the beginning with you
i'm starting to see the outline
of a wolf beside the dragon
the magnetic poles of our hearts attracting each other every moment
and when you whisper in my ear
everything disappears but your voice
i'm so glad that for once i made the right choice
we're intertwined now in life's web
heartbeat to heartbeat and thread to thread
you are the prayer i never dared to hope would be answered
and this cancer that's eaten away at me for so many years
all the fears and indecision
melt away with your love's reflection on the surface of my now calmed river
everything i could ask for has been delivered
you give me faith in corners i'd darkened
and paved the way for us to get started
on a journey that has no depth and no end
the journey with my soulmate, my lover, my friend.
Once again to my Ace of hearts. i'll always say yes to you.
