Bitter embers, nevermore

Till the fledgling moments of eternity’s bitter end, I’ll hold your little hand,
Anything for you my love, anything for my little dove,
Your love in me may drive me to the ends of sanity, but with a smile
Never before, had one done more
To save this little worthless soul, to unbury this south set mole
Digging b=deeper and deeper in my mind, keeping all trailing far behind
But the splendor I see, was enough for me
My dull eyes cought the gleam of your eternal inner beauty and your caring for my soul
`lifted me back to saftey, to a happy world I once lived, yet still fearing all the way
for I feared one day I’d lose you, that my love could never have you, now I know its not that way
for if I lived forever, I’d end it all to see you, beside me in the blissfull morn
but from that worry I can be free, for I know that you shall love me, and in time you shall be there,
and forever shall I be yours, and forever more I’ll see you, and from pain I will not hide
for no longer shall I need it, my mind no longer breeds it, for you can show through love
what I never thought I could see, what had always just escaped me, what I was wishing most
yes foolish once again I rained, and yet from it I shan’t be pained
becouse I have your love around me, strongest steel just couldn’t ground me, from the high I get from you
so please understand this crazy, that sets down when I’m close to you
uts just that effect you have, among so many other things you do, doing them all with love.
