First
Clearly
a playful soul had entered the dark realm,
a playful soul had entered the dark realm,
I was awakened despite all trepidation, all doubt,
Passing
by the sentry who guarded my lonely heart,
by the sentry who guarded my lonely heart,
Further
he moved, quiet, challenging my faith, so bold,
he moved, quiet, challenging my faith, so bold,
Is it
possible to believe again, to reach out in the dark,
possible to believe again, to reach out in the dark,
So to
live my faith in love, make it my goal, my haven,
live my faith in love, make it my goal, my haven,
But what
of hurt, how will the pain feel, will I survive,
of hurt, how will the pain feel, will I survive,
Even one
thrust of agony, will this lonely heart still beat?
thrust of agony, will this lonely heart still beat?
No
better to run, to pull back, disappear, hide from hurt,
better to run, to pull back, disappear, hide from hurt,
For the
feeling in me to be true, what I feel for him to be real,
feeling in me to be true, what I feel for him to be real,
The
chance in itself is impossible, the reality so doubtful,
chance in itself is impossible, the reality so doubtful,
Why
should I suffer on the altar of love for a mere chance,
should I suffer on the altar of love for a mere chance,
Not this
time, no, never, no, heaven will fall first,
time, no, never, no, heaven will fall first,
Good-bye, mere chance darken not my door,
spit not my soul,
spit not my soul,
Too long
the dark of my heart, taking such small breaths of love,
the dark of my heart, taking such small breaths of love,
There
remains no fire to test my steel, to open the caged heart,
remains no fire to test my steel, to open the caged heart,
Wipe
this shimmer of love from my mind, take the light away,
this shimmer of love from my mind, take the light away,
Tary no
longer to torture me, show me the love you will take,
longer to torture me, show me the love you will take,
Just go,
silent and veiled I will remain my fortress intact,
silent and veiled I will remain my fortress intact,
The
light would not fade, it never wavered, never dissipated,
light would not fade, it never wavered, never dissipated,
Fear
grew to be beaten back, pain became the risk to take,
grew to be beaten back, pain became the risk to take,
The
altar of new love, the merest chance became my haven,
altar of new love, the merest chance became my haven,
The
caged heart caresses the shimmer of love, the shadow gone,
caged heart caresses the shimmer of love, the shadow gone,
He comes
into my arms, fills me, laughs at my fear, for…
into my arms, fills me, laughs at my fear, for…
Then we
may hold love…
may hold love…
