I STAND

I didn’t allow my heart to flinch
I couldn’t play weak
This isn’t the time to retreat to re-evaluate the situation, the things I know I haven’t done
The cold is going to catch up with us
So stay with me
Like broken hair holds on to the comb after cleanup
I look to you
I hang on to the only thing that’s so dear to me
The real deal behind my morning prayer
The smile in my thoughts
The blush I feel all over when the phone rings,
My last piece of sanity
The ink left on my feather

We all fear
we all despair
we all hide
we all regret
Therefore, nothing is as wonderful as being in love
Like those emotional breathtaking scenes in the movies, time stops and nothing around makes sense but you
The tears in my eyes aren’t those I give to an audience but for you I’d let go of my worst, the shadow behind my misdeeds
The title I once bared
For a new day has begun
I come home to you my love
And someday when you read this
The wind will whisper that there is nothing
I’ve place so dearly above you
but the thought of waking up beside you

At some point the worst has to come forth
darkness someway must infest the nest
to separate the weak from the mighty
the midnight waves must roar, let the wind blow away dying leaves ushering in a regenerated harvest
free of fear, confusion and tears
I stand.
I stand because
I can’t allow my heart to flinch
I can’t play weak
because I love you through and through.

Constant –
