Within Reach
Sunsets carried a promise
looked behind my soul
seen what had become
comfort in the coldness
peace behind the walls
safe from the pain of love
you reached for me
turning away
hiding in the shadows
self centered aloneness
running from myself
stopped and looked
behind me you waited
no one waited before
walls crumbled
shadows faded
i stopped running
comfort in the warmth
safe from the pain of love
your sunset is my promise
i reach for you.
