I Wait

I wait, alone in the cold, so long
Wait for you to meet me here
I know that to you my heart belongs
Please my love don’t disappear

My love and hope keeps me warm
Through the dark and solemn night
But can hope keep away the storm
Can it show me the dawn’s sweet light

For once my hope dies
My bodies cold and so my heart
I finally see through your lies
Oh those evil lies so smart

Let the darkness swallow me
Keep the ice and stone defence
I won’t fall again watch and see
Love, to me, is so past tense 

Frozen and now so dead
From this coma I won’t wake
Never a lie to me be said
For me and my hearts sake

Try to help me feel again
Try to get my blood to run
Never heard a quest so insane
To my heart the damage done

But maybe, with some help
You can save me from this dark
Pull me to the light, for me will you help
Warm my heart with your spark
