Leave the Scars

The sunlight was falling between peaks of veil-like beams I felt your presence surrounding me As thunder clashes it's majesty unseen Helpless I fell to my knees Why can I only remember your strength Your deeds of valiance when lives were in need? Years of hunger famished for hope Why now when another seeks to ride your steed? I miss you and It's not fair to him He's loving kind and true He's beautiful like the morning mist hovering over mountains When I look at our children I know, still he will never be you Tonight I sit by candlelight staring up at the moon Craving so pathetically just to talk with you Gazelles they dance on precipice steep... no fear And I... Trembling terrified of betraying two How do I keep breathing tell me? Draw for me the answers in the stars You can play now among the black holes and galaxies Just heal my wounds though you must leave the scars You know he wants to marry me In his eyes there's a love I've never known Was it my capability to trust that you took from me That now renders this choice not my own? He draws me close I push away He gives me space come back I say A beautiful mess his every dream come true Although I don't really know to whom ... they wonder why I pray

A need to embrace security's illusion. A want for a certainty in the uncertain winds. A need to hold onto a ghost one more time. Incredibly expressed. Poignant & powerful.
