If I could be taken from here
I would go
From these painful moments
To stop tasting each salted tear
I would
Falling endlessly
If I could rip this heart out
And tear away from this picture
Of my life, I would
Standing in a corner, so angry
I would
So much of life is not what
You told me it’d be
When nightmares envelop
The sweetest of my dreams
And angels have fallen and
Daggers do sting
When she lives worlds away from
Her lover, her friend
When all things golden
Surely come to blunt ends
When confident assurances
Become insecure doubts
Sweet memorable moments
Like an hour-glass, run out
When distance becomes
Merciless miseries…
Twenty lovely anniversaries
And she still runs away
…His sweet wife
When making wrong choices
become the mistakes of your life
When emotional pain can outweigh
The plunging of knives
And beautiful truths reveal staggering lies
When the person you knew
Is not whom you thought
All the aged layers of love
Now mold into rot
Sacred marriage won’t you promise
Me, something different from
the illusion of eternity
Where one can get up and still walk
Away,
Love won’t you teach me an easier way?
If I knew a better path to walk, I would
And remove the thorns from my petals
I would
But no longer can I dismiss myself
My promises hold truth
In my eyes you are dear
If I could only hold you forever
And not watch you again and again
Disappear
In your presence I glow
Now I promise to serve you
As I do my Lord
My Love, my sweet
promises of Happiness to come
Let this treacherously slow waiting be done.
