Steadfast Love

No matter what I say to you

I can never... get it right 

So I imprison the words inside of me

and I let my feelings type

.

My heart is true and honest

but it's somehow not enough 

I bend beyond the realms of sense

with unwavering, steadfast love

.

In my saddened heart I know though

that this you do not recognise

Through a filter of paranoia 

daily it’s me you grow to despise 

.

I wonder how our journey will end; 

if we'll continue to muddle through

or if your demons will defeat us 

and if I’ll loose both me.... and you 

So, please, listen to what I’m saying 

This doesn’t have to be our end

One in which we both destroy ourselves

and into madness... we descend

. 

For I, would steal the moon for you

to quell the darkness in your head

Leave no room for ghosts of yesteryear

Burn up in stars... every word they said

.

I’ll be there to hold you through the nights

To stroke your night-terrors away 

Darling, you’ll no longer have to cope alone

No more days... of being afraid
