End of Lonliness
The depths in your eyes haunt me.
Everywhere I look I see your smile.
My lips ache for your kisses,
And in my mind you are by my side,
And I am no longer alone.
Do you know what it is to walk this world,
Knowing Loneliness is to be your only companion,
And accepting it fully.
Then, in one fateful moment,
A beautiful face, an understanding smile,
And feelings never known,
Defeat this warrior's soul as no enemy could,
Destroying walls built in long defense
And touching the heart never touched.
An angel on Earth, I fear you as no other,
But gather you up, for good or ill,
And hold you to me tight and fierce.
