Never Imagined
When I look into your eyes I see forever
Your voice on the other end a choir of angels
Something so special and strong a sliver
Of hope within my heart just didn’t exist
You’ve taken my world by storm resurrecting
A passion for life and love I buried for good
Or so I thought but I stand now confessing
I am weak but you make me strong
I am empty but you fill me with happiness
And a purpose like no other that came before
This fire you’ve started has left my mind a mess
Can’t concentrate on the task at hand
Sleep has become nothing more than another
Word it’s meaning has faded food is no longer
Desired cause your not beside me I’d rather
Walk a million just to collapse upon your door
Then face the night alone your touch haunts me
Like the ghost of Christmas to come so close
But still so far away I strain against these chains to be
Released from this prison I once willingly accepted
Fantasizing about the taste of your kiss the intoxicating
Sent of your body the warmth of your embrace and
A lifetime of staring into your beautiful eyes exciting
As being a child on Christmas day longing to open gifts
I try and keep my need under control but everyday
It gets to be harder and harder waging a viscous
War deep within my soul emptying my mind to say
I want or just need you seems to be a misrepresentation
Of the strength of the emotions flowing through
My body every time I think of you and I can hear
It in your voice that you feel the same and true
To my nature the tears begin to fall from my eyes
The power of something pure and untainted
By the world and all of it’s twisted and sadistic
Images you brought the colors back and painted
A dream that sat in the corner tarnished under cover
I walked through the darkness alone for so very long
Void of a smile of the sparkle of a reason to carry
On then one day I looked up from the ground cause I heard the song
Your soul was singing hesitation took it’s hold for
The thought of just another illusion frightened my soul
And weakened my mind because I never imagined
Within this lifetime I would ever see again my world whole
Will it be forever or just another temporary break from insanity
