Image of Love
I see your face, I look into your eyes,
And I fall apart, can no longer even try.
Though I know beauty can be full of lies,
Nothing could alter your image for me.
If they could part the sands from the sea,
They never could part my love from me.
Here, there is nothing but rocks and stones,
No friendly souls or angels to guide you home.
Here, you are so, so very alone,
But I have seen your heart, know your words.
They tell me that my vision is blurred,
That my thoughts are slow, my words slurred.
Even love cannot look beyond an evil face;
It can't be missed, not a trace.
No, you're an image of pure grace.
True, beautiful perfection is what you are,
I look in your eyes and I can see the stars.
I'll always come to you, no matter how far.
