My Time in Purgatory

Folder: 
6-The Weird Stuff

My time in purgatory

is the time I have to spend away from you.

Every day that goes by that you're not in my arms.

And every night that I can't hold you tight.

I'm so close to heaven I can taste it.

But I have to suffer without your presence,

though I know it's just for a little while longer.



My time in purgatory is painful but rewarding.

And I'll bear all the present pain and misery gladly,

if it means that one day I'll completely

belong to you.



My time in hell

would be the rest of my life if you walked out.

The regrets that would haunt me forever.

The torture my heart would go through

if either one of us were to give up

on this beautiful, wonderful relationship.



My time in purgatory is agony but worth every second.

And I'll battle any demon that confronts us

if it means that one day you'll slaughter

all my isolation and loneliness.



My time in limbo

are the hours I don't know where you are.

When I'm not sure if something's gone wrong.

And not sure what you're feeling or thinking.

When things could be just fine

but I can't talk to you

and have you satisfy all my worries.



My time in purgatory is distressing but beneficial.

And I'll drift aimlessly through any desert

if it means that one day you'll quench

all my emotional thirsts.



My time in valhalla

is the time I spend fighting tooth and nail

for this love.

Overcoming the obstacles placed in front of us.

Working through anything and everything

in order to move us towards a higher place.



My time in purgatory is torture but I'm all right.

And I'll endure any rough waters

if it means that one day my ship

will land in your harbor.



My time in heaven

will be the rest of my life once we become one.

Every hour, minute, second I spend with you.

Every morning I wake up beside you.

And every night you fall asleep in my arms.

And everything we do together

forever and ever. Amen.



My time in purgatory is painful but rewarding.

And I'll gladly wear my current crown of thorns

if it means that one day I can sit at your side.
