After it all

Forced solitude
A dream shattered
Seemingly beyond repair
The light lost again
Forward brought despair
Two hearts aching
Pain bleeding forth
Coiling over the edges
Blurring all that is known

Emotions run rampant
Chaotic in their freedom
Twisting things said
Bringing nothing more
I seek a way to say
What is deep inside
hidden now by darkness
A place I cannot find

It is safe there
In that little hidden spot
Protected by its fragility
The shining moment of us
I don't want to lose it
But your voice is so far away
Blinded by the tears
streaming down my soul

I don't know how to right the wrong
caused by confusion
Words so freely given before
hide from me tonight
I know what I want to say
but it doesn't come out that way
It only makes it worse
and I'm losing all I have

I want to run away
find solace from this anguish
I want to run to you
to feel your embrace again
But coldness I have dealt you
In response to pain I was given
Such is the way, when two fires meet

Clashing of things so strong
virulent in their passion
consuming each other rapidly
until one is not one, not two, but one...
The line does not exist...but it does?
I'm lost without you
I'm lost within you
I'm lost...

Through the anger, the pain, the confusion, the hurt
through the words, the tears, the fears...
deep beneath it all, deep within me
always, as I have said, you are
You taught me a way, to say something
a way to make it known
and though you may not believe it
for you, here, I will leave it
Ik hou van jou schatje
