Back to You
Once again, out in the dark,
The stars are gone, not even trace of a spark.
The night has fallen, and landed straight upon me
If I could only find my way out,
If I could only see…
I stumble and fall, and then get back to my feet,
And then see a sight that my eye doth greet.
There you stand in that night, so radiant and pure,
My light in the darkness,
Of this, I am sure.
I had tried to turn away, to turn off how I feel,
Yet against these feelings, what can I do but kneel?
Whatever it is that I try to do,
My mind always brings me back to you.
Love is strange, for it brings both happiness and strife,
Yet, to save thee from harm, I’d willingly give my life.
Whether it were bullet or blade, or brutal blows from fists,
Whatever pain I endure, I feel strength because you exist.
I’m tired of fighting my feelings, I can struggle no more,
Yet it seems like I’ve turned and shut my own door.
I’ve prayed so hard, hoping you may care,
Hoping to turn around and see you right there.
I still feel confused; do not know what to do,
All I know is that it keeps leading me right back to you.
There are times I remember you during my sleep,
These dreams of such beauty, they might drive some to weep.
I find myself simply wishing to be in thy embrace,
My hand lightly tracing that cheek, that face.
In my sleep, it seems I’ve more certainty what to do,
For it seems to keep bringing me back to you.
I always want to write, to say the perfect words,
But there is nothing I can think of, save you.
Every ounce of me has wanted to scream out,
But the sound was trapped deep within, and never came out.
Everything that I’ve wanted seems to speed on by
As I’m chained to this patch of earth, so cold and so dry.
If not for you, I’d still be there, stuck, chained here in this place,
Without you there, to free me with your embrace.
I just want to be able to come back to you
Where my love does burn strong, where all feels brand new.
I can’t help but try to come back to you.
