"Arrow Heart"

I

Eyes of a beauty, familiar
Something I cannot define
Halted by an unearned desire
The arrows from your heart
Shot blindly into mine
A radiance from within you
Burn through this heart's armoured stone
Igniting an unfamiliar want, to love you
The hole you have cut bleeds forth
To join the river in your soul
Surely through the depths, you must have known
I can feel the pain betrayed within you
Of a heart that needs to be healed
Embrace a warmth, cloaked in midnight
Return to the place that made you whole
Lest both our dooms be sealed

II                  

Let us walk from this road of winter's leaves
Pull the nails from your tattered wrists
Bring you back to life
Run naked,
Run free
From the candle of these dark lands

III

You struggle for breath in treacherous waters
Come!
Drown with me
Lay your soul to rest
Your love may find peace there
In a burial at sea

IV

Standing before gates of freedom
Looking down into the abyss
You hold the key
In your tender kiss
It's a fear of flying
But you have to try
I will always catch you, if you should fall
Come on then
Fall with me

V

In a turbulent release
Fire, sparks in your eyes
Once again alight
The love love in your precious heart
Wrapped up safely
In this soul
I will stay the fear
In your eyes
As we let the masks
fall apart.
