Somehow you weaseled your way into my heart.
I can't seem to turn your love away.
Looking back at the way it was,
  I guess I just needed your embrace.
Now I can't let go.
You look down to me, with those big blue eyes.
I just can't let go.
These times, how hard I've tried.
To let you walk away again.
Run away from broken dreams...
Every time, I look away, you creep back in.
  Looking upon my closed eyes as I sleep.
From each breath you take.
You breathe in life,
   a whole beginning of ending time.


You don't even let me look beyond my fears...
because if I am letting them overtake me,
then I will lose this fight.

From within.
I hold on tight to you my friend.
Even though its not alright it is.
With you I know things are true tonight.
In  love with destiny's last plight.

Do you not know this love, you shed.
Upon the light from this beacon you light... with your heart. Upon hand. I feel it beat. Now.

The rhythm matching mine in time.
Steps I walk and then I run.
If I outrun this feeling in my heart i'm weak.
Don't let me speak.
For all the words I say come out wrong.
Not sure how to let my heart give you love.

Unsure of destiny. But I know its sitting right in front of me. Now. I know.
The beat drums on, from beneath your chest. Heart.
You Love.

Very emotional write Kellie, I especially enjoyed this part.

Do you not know this love, you shed.
Upon the light from this beacon you light... with your heart. Upon hand. I feel it beat. Now.


Very nicely done sweetie.

Kelli-

I'm at a loss for words on this one...your words aren't just words...they move me in a way few can.

Wonderful write!
