Lovers Apart

A love as sweet as the promise of heaven Imperiled destruction as never been seen Like the ever present fear of Armageddon Full blossomed to explode with feelings pristine Would you be willing to accept this fate? Or endure the longing forever postponed And wait in line at the pearliest gates Where angst expectations are accident proned Everyone lives for the eye blinding glance That causes the heart uncontrollable swells But it’s hard to trust the potions of chance That could cure the being of thirst quenching spells In having to alter the passage of will The curse and the worry of dying alone Is broken assuring the outcome fulfills The heart of the lover who braves the unknown I’d forfeit heaven for the woman I love If it meant that she could take my place The earth and its stars way up above Amazing together and never a waste Conditioned you stay just a little bit longer And shelter these words within your heart I love you for loving me deeper and stronger On heaven bound chariots set to depart
