Unto You

You say you want to end it
You say that we can’t go on
You say that you still love me
But being in love is gone

I say that time is too short
You have not had time to heal
I feel that you are playing
With emotions that I feel

I have a dark suspicion
That for you this may be true
Inside the darkest recess
Of the pain inside of you

I can not believe your words
Because time and time again
I see the feelings you hide
Far deep inside you, within

I can not end this marriage
Before its whole time is due
Without the will of the One
Who did bring me unto you

With Every Fiber Decreed

The picture that you have sent me
Touches me way deep down inside
It somehow has stirred up feelings
That from myself my mind did hide

Your hair so wantonly tousled
The smile on your beautiful face
Your blue eyes so alive within
A vision my mind can’t replace

Images remind me you I love
With every fiber decreed
Reminds me always taking care
That again you’re not hurt by me

Perfect Dream

My Love is gone and not come back
My heart is grieved for what I lack
No one to share my joys and fears
My sleepless nights reduced to tears

No one have I to sleep beside
No one to hear me as I cried
No one to aid me in the night
No one to hold me as I fight

I miss the softness of her skin
I miss the way she let me in
I miss the talks we used to have
I miss her love’s great healing salve

I miss the way she used to laugh
I miss tickling her lively calf
I miss these things and so much more
I miss meeting her at the door

Were I my life to do again
I would not cause myself to sin
I would hold things in high esteem
And realize my perfect dream

The Promise

Know you say you want to
I know you say it’s true
I know you’re scared of hurt
By anything that I do

Want to make a promise
To take away the fear
Won’t hurt that way again
I promise you, my Dear

Lost so much the first time
That meant so much to me
Won’t do again ever
A promise to you from me

Can not see you hurting
It causes me too much pain
Because of this and vows
I really must abstain

Life we had together
Was oh so dear to me
I want it back and more
Can you please hear my plea?
