Secret Confessions

Secret Confessions

(A lone voice whispers)

You're my book of revelations

Every page, a divine creation

My alpha and my omega

My rebirth through every weather

You’re the rhythm in my heartbeat

Soft and sacred when you hold me

Life and death inside your eyes

Heaven wrapped in your sighs

And if you walk away from me…
Oh girl, what would I be?

If your faith in me is gone…
Tell me how do I go on?

You’re my hope… and my joy
My night… and my day
Don’t you ever drift away

You’re my light… when I’m lost

The only truth I can’t deny
Girl, you’re my reason why

Oh stay… stay… don’t fade away

You’re the song my soul can’t destroy
My hope… my joy…

If you leave, I’d be in shadows
Dancing with my broken echoes

Every prayer would sound your name
Every tear would fall the same

You’re the fire in my silence

The calm within my storm of violence

Only you have ever known
The child inside I’ve never shown

So if in me you don’t believe…
Girl, that’s all I’d ever need

To fall apart, to lose my way…
Don’t let our love just fade to grey…
