Home

I will never let you go
You are my home
Your eyes are my windows 
I am in the dark without you
Alone 


Grasp on the fact and see
I dream of nothing but you 
Surrounding me
I wish I could fade in to sleep
 And never wake
Curse the sun that takes
You away

If I believed in heaven 
I imagine it would be
Your eyes, your mouth, your hands 
Taking over me

If I believed in hell I imagine it would be
This present life I live
Vacant, shy 
Constant long for your eyes

Time will try 
But can never cure
The aching, my heart is ill
It burns in grief, torture
No relief

A mark will keep you in my mind 
The tide will never wash away
Our sands of time

And in my unconscious mind 
My eyes take in your bodies light
It consumes my soul
Overwhelming glow
Drops of gold reflect
Your eyes

Only in the depths of sleep
Among this distant world I keep
My head upon your chest
Atop this oak 
Inside our nest
In these arms I am not alone
I breathe the words 
“I am home”
