FOR YOU

My fingers bleed
Trying to find words
Deep enough for you

My heart aches
Trying to find tears
Perfect enough for you

My mind weeps
Trying to find melodies
Sweet enough for you

My eyes close
Trying to make myself
Beautiful enough for you

My fingertips tremble
Trying to find caresses
Soft enough for you

My breathing stumbles
Trying to find paces
Strong enough for you

My love
A simple chant
Into a world full of things less true
And here I am
Alone unto you

My heart
With only a strum of faded strings
To carry me through
As I sit waiting
Alone, for you

My soul
No longer empty
As you linger there
With a world recreated
And here I am
Just for you

Loneliness
No longer keeps me company

Anger
No longer knows my name

Sorrow
No longer fills me with doubt

Words
No longer seem so lacking

And as our days grow numbered
And our lives twist and turn
I'll always hold your hand
Until the moon fades away
And the sun washes ashore

For in this life
You are more than I could have ever asked for
And I thank you, my love
For looking twice

And in that I hope you thank me
For loving you so unconditionally
So true and so pure
So right and so powerful
Because everything I do
I do it for you
My love
