Halls of the Dark Muse

A Love So Strong

How can I breathe
without you by my side
you are the life force
that pulses within me

As I thirst for water
as I hunger for food
so does my body
crave and need for you

When I look upon the moon
it is the same one looking
over you, and our souls
reach through the distance
to touch, I shiver when you
think of me, feeling it
within my bones

I would wipe away all
your tears, let me ease
away your fears,
embraced within my arms
your nightmares will fade

Rich and beautiful
is the sound of your laughter
when I hear it within my mind
and your smile, when I imagine it
turned upon me, lifts my heart,
while your voice always draws a
joyful sigh

You know I would erase
away your pain, if only I could
your physical presence
is my greatest desire

Such love as yours
never before have I known
the power of it brings
tears to my eyes

While I agonize
for all that keeps us apart
I know you will always be there
holding me in your heart
and you know I will always be here
keeping you in my thoughts

And the day will come
with your hand in mine
our union will be sealed
on every front

Then no more
will anything ever
stand in our way.
