Love Unending
We were lost, we were blind.
Through the millions and millions that found love we did find.
What is that sound? Did someone open your door?
Creeping footsteps turn into a sprint. I can't even see you any more.
Through bloodshot eyes and tear stained cheeks, I scream at you at the top of my lungs with my inside voice to come back but when I open my mouth not a sound can speak.
Words of terror, used to punish, manipulate and hurt each other leave our hearts wilted like a sun starved flower.
I'm in my bed night after night with my only thoughts of you. I'm holding to the stars at night. Reserving my wishes that I'm hoping you're thinking of me too.
Our children share the best parts of us, but we only see the worse.
Our love song, never gets complete. Always missing that crucial verse.
Thoughts of you sprinkle on my forehead like a hard days sweat, though many days of frustration, nights of pain, but still my happiest day is the day we met.
No matter how mundane or even if its just to fight, I'll always answer your call. Because I can't hate you forever. Probably not even at all.
The ball was in my court, now I'm just the visiting team. Any amount of time without you just feels like a really bad dream.
Outstretched arms are spread open and wide just in case you do. I'll always find ways to remind just how much I'll always love you.
