She’d rather be numb than feel the pain
And never feel the cold of the rain
From all of the storms that are yet to come
That do their best to make her succumb
So within her heart a vortex forms
And it will consume as it transforms
This heart once on fire to solid ice
But this new future will not suffice
To give up the pain she gives much more
All the happiness that was in store
Closing my eyes at your tender touch
Never before have I felt so much
As I do when you hold me near
And the future just seems so clear
But all that matters is here and now
Being lost in you, wondering how
Luck could have shifted in my favor
Giving so much for me to savor
So on this journey I go with you
To explore a world so bright and new
She doesn’t know what the future may bring
Is it poison or love in that sharp sting?
Her strength seems gone and yet it remains
As the toxin courses through her veins
Heart beating faster every day
Not even slowing as she lay
Her heavy head down upon his chest
And closing her eyes for a brief rest
Her heart finally quiets with his touch
To that peace he brings she’ll forever clutch
Tenderness and love are all I knew
In the past when it was me and you
But life never fair took you away
And on your own path you went your way
But Fate undaunted has led you back
To finally give us what we lack
For every twist that we’ve made it through
Made us stronger than we ever knew
And with those strengths we can surely last
As we head to a future so vast
Tonight once more I will lay
With dreams full of what you say
The words playing in my head
The sweetest dreams are now thread
Of forever spent next to you
And all our wishes coming true
Each day waking in your sweet embrace
Gentle kisses that make my heart race
Give me your heart, I’ll give you my all
There is nothing to fear in this fall
Though we may still be so far apart
You know you already hold this heart
I will be everything that you need
With this love of mine that you have freed
As long as the sun rises and sets
We can live on with no more regrets
In each others arms dreams can come true
For I dream each night of only you
Let me lie in your arms again
And we’ll both be free of the pain
Let the memories be made new
Within these hearts that beat so true
Though time will tell if this can last
I see hope in a love so vast
So hold me tight, never let go
And side by side, our love will grow
Go ahead, you can do your worst
I’m not the one who’ll end up cursed
You’ll lash out but you’ll always miss
I’ll always be better than this
You try to drag me into your hell
You think I’m living under your shell
But I’ve broken free, no longer yours
On that past I have closed all the doors
So try you may and try you might
I’m not dreaming of you tonight
New adventures yet to come
To it all she will succumb
Taking chances once again
Changing all that she has been
With a life that shines anew
It is time to follow through
On promises she has made
To herself she had betrayed
Her future now hers alone
And she controls the unknown
I want to be free of all this pain
To remove this shackle and this chain
Tired of my heart being filled with doubt
Tired of hearing my soul scream and shout
I want frustration to disappear
From my life so that my future’s clear
But as each problem seems to fade
Another in my life is made
There is no escape from the strife
I must accept it’s part of life
