Sullen Brevity

You vowed to love me 
Is that a vow you keep 
Your smile's so tender 
You'll not be sighing a sweet surrender 
Your touch is so pleasing 
Makes me warm inside 
love is a flame to light the way
an eternal quest on display
many live it out in fantasy
in vast sullen brevity
you push me away but i'm here to stay
love is the mere essence of my inner existence

beautiful in a tender voice
we all have a choice to take part in the dance
time waits for no one
yet I have just begun
a chill within my friend
when I look deep into her eyes I could see a future
filled up with hope for a better tomorrow
amidst all the pain and sorrow
the twilight sun has tainted my inner vision
deep within my soul permeates to the vast expanse of the reality of love
nestled from a higher power up above
what frightens you most is it fear ?
for I shed a single tear to help numb the inner pain
not having you in my arms is driving me insane
most of life may appear as vain
yet I search for more yet of what ?
