forever black

For you to be happy

is what I desire

I think you'll be crappy

until I retire

I know I should leave you

cause you cant leave me

Ive lied and decieved you

yet still want us to be

I havent a clue

as to where we should go

If you get a notion

then just let me know

I know you dont trust me,

or want me alone

I know you dont lust me

or like when im home

I dont know what we need

we might need a break

but im scared that that might be

yet another mistake

As our water rises

we'll build our bridge higher

I'll pick up the slack

when you start to tire

I'll paint the sky black

when you need to sleep

kissing you softly

while i softly weap

finally blackness and peace shall take over

your troubles and worries are no longer sober

Intoxicated, mistrewn, caught up in your dreams

where nothing is normal or quite as it seems

inevitably, fading for daylight once more

but the pain will be lesser than the night before

for while you were resting

and feeling so safe

I was building our bridge high as heavens and space.

I'll build a dam, and more bridges and walls

blocking the water from making more falls

and if the sea rises to where we cant swim,

ill build us a boat and well float with a grin

the stars are above us,

the winds at our back

breezing us softly to forever black.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

the term" black is used to dictate a state of peace. it is contrary to the popular socialism that black is to be entwined with "bad". in truth, "bad" and "goodd" are nothing more than a matter of personal opinion drawn fourth from ones perception
