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
