Inspired Insecurities
As our paths diverge from one
I envision us a setting sun
Resist the urge to run from night
Comforted only by your gleaming light
As the North Star would guide one home
Shines in my soul that I fear should roam
Your stars so bright, but out of reach
Lacking the skill of patience you teach
Yearning soley for the light of day
To keep my fears of doubt at bay
Swerve and crash on the road life has laid
In my rearview mirror your image fades
Terrified destiny will keep us apart
Worried for our survival as we are one heart
Always the darkest, just before dawn
In fate’s game of chess, played always as pawns
The coward’s way out would be to just leave
So you wear all our hope right on your sleeve
You say the world would never be so cruel
And will defend true love as a general rule
And remind me that I can’t let go
And that deep down we somehow know
Our love could never be star crossed
And time was all we ever lost
With daybreak that we will amend
As we realize together time ceases to end
And even through shouts of battle cries
We know our setting sun will rise
The hazardous road we did somehow escape
Able to watch our sunrise in awe, mouths agape
We walk together, apart, in line
And will forever intertwine
