Outlaw Love

Stuck in these four walls
And a trashy black fence
No one could see what I have 
done
What I have become

The secret garden
Touched by heavens wings
Sunlight falling on leaves to 
perfection
Colours dreaming bright
Like no other can imagine
Every heart beat is missed
To take in the sight

Walking in this dream
The sun plays your face
The wind your voice
Flowers your scent

Nothing makes sense
But everything is clear

Dawn breaks
The dream awakes
Thunder arises and quakes the 
garden
The sun fading
Wind screaming
Flower stepped on and burnt

All lost and forgotten
Until the setting sun
Removed from heaven
To open the garden once more
The dream that I'll live forever
