Lover's Conclusion

The years have came and went. 
You and I still at it, 
and how things have changed
I feel like I've finally won you over, 
tamed the beast that you are, 
but still have not managed 
to tame the beast within me. 
I can't seem to go anywhere. 
I can’t seem to leave my love.
I've always wanted and prayed 
so many nights for us 
to be the way we are today. 
But it's hard at times 
to have the faith. 
I'm so scared. 
Just tell me that there's no reason to be frightened. 

Your smile lights up my dark world. 
You have the eyes of a forest .... 
filled with sadness, 
holding depth, 
and reflecting God. 
After we depart, 
I can't help but get intoxicated 
by the smell of you on my body. 
Sometimes your door is open, 
sometimes it is shut. 
Sometimes you hear me. 
Other times you only hear yourself. 
You're full of love, 
and thank you for giving it to me...
I've worked hard for it. 
You didn't do anything to earn mine.....
except that you held on to me, 
and never had let me go.....
for I'm yours.....
I belong to you....
even when I say 
it's not meant to be. 
I am here.....
let's try to stick it out a little longer. 
Through the wild storms, 
hold my hand as we run through them...
over and over. 
I still love you...
even when you're as cold as stone. 
I've tasted the warmth 
of your sun many times. 
You're very capable 
of loving me 
the way that you do. 
But then again, 
we still have our moments. 
I continue to howl 
at the beauty of the moon 
with that ancient question... 
that I ask the stars. 
It is forever? 
Is it thy will? 
Father, end it now.....
if it's not the plan. 
Don't keep me waiting...
