We can love with all we’ve got
And we can give our hearts away
But that doesn’t necessarily mean
That the ones we love will stay
And sometimes there are people
Who just can’t love you back
No matter what we say or do
There’s something that they lack
And maybe it’s because
Some people just can’t see
The importance of a person
Who’d give everything like me

I get lost in your eyes
A sea of swirling mystery
Deeply embedded in my mind
You’re the anchor of my soul
I get lost in your words
Always a varied array of desire
Infinite wants and needs expressed
You’re the ink that colors my heart

If love can conquer all
Than I am a victor in your arms
And not even the plagues of the world
Can touch the light in my soul
For you have enabled me to shine
During the darkest most dismal days
Illuminating my way
Even when I could not
There were a myriad of times
When I walked through shadowed realms
And you were there
To help guide my way
You never left me alone on that arduous path
Embracing me daily
Your outstretched arms ever ready
Never faltering to motion me in
And every bend in the road
Was a heartwarming gift
Because you were there
Loving me as only you can
And now I am beholden to you
My love, my life
The one who nurtures
Every part of my being
What was once before me
Has dissipated at my feet
And it’s all because
You remained by my side

Do you ever just wish
You could take back what you said
And every moment after
Is something that you dread
All those regretful words
Left hanging in the air
Fills you with affliction
Cause you really do care
But something made you do it
Spew your words of hate
A bunch of nasty nonsense
If only you could relegate
Time is the only cure
Likely to save your from your demise
Your only hope left
Is that the memory fades and dies

I’m thankful for my friends
The ones both far and near
Who always steer me right
When nothing is quite clear
Without you in my life
I know I’d never get through
And the happiness I’ve felt
Is really all because of you
