Inspired Insecurities

As our paths diverge from one
I envision us a setting sun

Resist the urge to run from night
Comforted only by your gleaming light

As the North Star would guide one home
Shines in my soul that I fear should roam

Your stars so bright, but out of reach 
Lacking the skill of patience you teach

Yearning soley for the light of day
To keep my fears of doubt at bay

Swerve and crash on the road life has laid
In my rearview mirror your image fades

Terrified destiny will keep us apart
Worried for our survival as we are one heart

Always the darkest, just before dawn
In fate’s game of chess, played always as pawns

The coward’s way out would be to just leave
So you wear all our hope right on your sleeve

You say the world would never be so cruel 
And will defend true love as a general rule

And remind me that I can’t let go
And that deep down we somehow know

Our love could never be star crossed 
And time was all we ever lost

With daybreak that we will amend 
As we realize together time ceases to end

And even through shouts of battle cries
We know our setting sun will rise

The hazardous road we did somehow escape
Able to watch our sunrise in awe, mouths agape

We walk together, apart, in line
And will forever intertwine
