Plea

So many of these waking moments I live,

in never-ending thoughts of what might be,

of what might be between you and me,

and I end up feeling so empty

I close my eyes to try and block it out,

this loneliness hangs like a dark cloud,

bitter reminder of what I'm left without,

there is no solace, only fear and doubt

Only you can save me,

Only you can end this,

Cos I no longer know how to save myself,

I'm drowning with memories and dreams,

dreams are all that's left

Each time I try to reach out to you,

I fall short out of uncertainty and fear,

There's so much I need to say to you,

Instead I let it all slip away with a tear

Only you can save me,

Only you can release me,

From these walls closing in on my soul,

Behind this fake smile and haunted eyes,

is a soul in need of your love

Saving lives, helping those in need,

is so much easier,

then saving myself... I don't know how to save myself

not anymore...

The Light

Against an overwhelming brightness,

The shadows we cast irrelevant,

like the last of the falling snow,

upon a world so white

It can be so blinding sometimes,

but it fills us up so,

the darkness that burns my soul,

insignificant compared to your light

But a body so damaged,

cannot survive a passing night,

and a soul so ravaged,

might not be saved by the brightest light

But then again I know,

to feel you here would be enough,

to feel your touch makes me strong,

as your light keeps the dark at bay.
