Love and Steel
I stare into this mirror,
Like it’s the only reality I'll ever know,
I walk through shadows alone,
Unfeeling,
I reach inside and feel the hearts of strangers,
And still they’ll never know I held their life,
I felt their weakness,
Making it my weakness,
And even more, making it my strength.
And then I met you,
My knuckles slamming into steel caressing the cold metal,
I want inside,
I want to feel you moving through my veins,
And as I look into the deep eyes of a stranger
And shivers race down my spine,
I know,
I know I've met my one,
My flame in the darkness when my body grows numb,
And I just stare,
Not sure what to do, what to feel or not feel,
now I start to fall,
Fall into the black abyss,
Fall into a desolate world,
A world of hurt a world of love,
Somewhere I visited only once and barred myself from ever returning,
Yet I can look at you and whisper,
In one simple breath...
I love you...
And I mean it.
