Poem
I thought you'd be the one to come and save To rescue me from mouth of open grave I thought you'd be the one to hear my cries The one to gently wipe tears from my eyes I thought I'd find salvation in your arms My refuge from life's troubles and alarms I thought you'd breathe in me the breath of life Revive my heart that's dying due to strife I thought you cared enough to come for me To kill the dragons, changing destiny l thought your love would be my guiding light My soothing comfort in the darkest night My thoughts and wishes centered all on you The dawn of every day brought hope anew, for surely I would live to see your face And be held tightly in your warm embrace I waited, watched, and prayed for you to come To bring a clarity to mind gone numb The minutes, hours, days dragged slowly by It seems you did not hear my burdened sigh You did not come; he came to me instead His shoulder was the place for weary head His arms embraced me when I lost my ground Without his strength, I know I would have drowned He reassures me that he'll never leave He holds me tight when others make me grieve My body he adores with pilgrim hands and over all my wants, he has command He intimately knows my every need His love for me is one you can't exceed He'd give his life for me; I know it's true My foolish heart no longer yearns for you No longer... no, no longer will I wait My rescuer has shown my heaven's gate When he makes love to me, I'm free to soar My eyes see only him and nothing more You come to claim regret won't let you be, but I have found a love that's meant for me My worth and strength of love you could not feel Upon my heart you'll find my lover's seal Eileen Manassian
