You scream and cry
And pound your fists,
The rain pours down
And melts my kiss.
Your eyes are blurred
With loss and grief,
With salty screaming tears,
like thieves,
That steal your vision,
Fill your heart,
Until there's nothing
Left apart.
And I, like all things,
Fade away,
Into the dark
That ends your day.
" I'm here," I shout,
Over the storm,
"Can't you see me?
Take me home!"
Thunder rumbles
'Round your head
Lightening strikes
And I lay dead.
And as my spirit
Takes last flight,
I whisper gently,
"You were right."
And there did you stay, there, completely alone
Holding my hand that was cold as a stone
Wondering why being right felt so wrong.
And asking yourself Is the prize worth the cost?
And where is your heart,
Now that nothings been lost?
And now that you've won,
Shouldn't everything change?
As again you choke helplessly
Drowning in shame.
Wondering in circles,
Around the last fight,
Trying hard to remember
Just what made you right.
And knowing you'd traded
Compassion for pride;
Made sweet love to your self,
As I faded from sight.
And the horror engulfed you
'Till you couldn't breath,
Gasping, desperate for meaning,
You dropped to your knees.
Crying out to the heavens
With heart rending screams,
Over and over,
With ragged torn dreams.
Until grief had broken
Your head open wide,
And an ocean of tears
Did rush out like a tide.
When finally empty,
Purged of false pride
Your eyes beheld truth
'Neath the desperate lies.
And your heart simply melted,
Flowing out through each eye,
And you fell to your knees
Begging stars moon and the sky.
Groping for reason
Far greater than this,
You found peace in complexity,
Truth, in my kiss.
And slowly I stirred
Waking up from deep sleep,
Reaching out to the hand,
That was reaching for me.
I look in the eyes
As deep as the sea
And saw, for the first time,
The man who sees me.
You're the one that I've longed for
the man from my dreams
As I draw you inside,
And exhale. I'm complete.
