Time
I reach for you but you aren't there...
Pushed away by my fears...
My inner despair,
It happens everytime there begins a glow
A black hole within me expands trying to swallow me whole i fight back...
Failing...Failing is all that comes from my fighting.
It tells me things like all good things come to an end,
I'm a fool to believe otherwise...
To remember my lessons learned of how love is a lie...
Something that blinds you....
something that harms you......
Something that once changed you for the worst before...
You fight back saying this isn't so....
That love has harmed you before but its worth the risk...
It responds telling you how you are a fool and you must run
Hurt before you can be hurt and never trust a soul...
No you say at war with yourself now between your own mind and heart...
Being torn apart as they go back and forth your mind trying to
rationalize with your heart how it could lead you astray....
Your heart wanting to go where it is safe at home and stay buried within her hands...
Trusting her not to break it at any moment though she easily could.
Your mind disapproving sends you flashes of the past...
Every ounce of pain you've ever felt flashes before your eyes it burns...
it tears, it scars deeper and deeper until it swallows you whole...
They say time heals all wounds well I've had time yet i still fear in trust...
and love,
and happiness these emotions I'm not familiar with but am openly accepting now...
Lil' by lil' be patient please its not easy for me to do these things i never really knew or saw.
I'm learning and given time these fears will stop consuming my mind.
That's all we have love is time...if you stick by me I'll stick by you...
Tick tock tick tock goes the clock as i turn to look at you knowing the mistakes I've made i reach my hand out to you...
Hoping that this time I'll feel the warmth of your hand that fits as if it were built for mine.
Tick tock tick tock its not a waste this love is true we've come so far and fought so hard don't give up now.
Or it'd all have been a waste of time....
Time is all we have my dear we are young and we've grown so much together already lets not stop now.
Your hand slips into mine i look back to the hour glass, the sands of time both past and present...
I watch as the last of it falls through to the bottom and i am not afraid...
For i know a love like ours can grow and build to conquer all and together time is but myth...
For a love like ours is infinite...it knows no time...
I love you...Always and forever for better or worse don't ever forget that,
regardless of mistakes I have made in the past or ones i may make in the future.
Give me the time to show you why this is happening because it is meant ot be.
Give me the time to turn this all around within myself be patient please i am learning lil' by lil' how to do these things,
I am learning from you......All these things i never understood or knew how to show.
So please understand all i need is time
