I pick up the pieces that line the shores of the beaches of our love that will linger forevermore. Your eyes filled with sadness from the tears I made you cry, the same tears that drowned me, and made me choke at night. The hardest part was finding you, my soul's kindred mate, only to reap the consequences from the damage I caused that ultimately sealed our fate. As the master of my domain, I longed to right my wrongs, to make you feel the rhythm, and the lyrics of my heart's song. In you, I saw a future filled with fortune, fame, and fun; as my soul's cries resonated, telling me you are the one. The one to make my puzzle whole, your wishes, my command, as you make my bells endlessly toll, follow me to the promised land. On our magic carpet ride, we somehow lost our way, forced to land, and separate, until we meet one another halfway. From this day forth, I promise to only put smiles on your face, and if you feel restless or afraid, I will rescue you, and never let you fall from grace. I will grow my hair long, just to let it down, so you can climb up, and escape. Abracadabra, no magic tricks, just love, hidden inside my cape. At the end of my rainbow, I found you, more precious than diamonds, or a pot of gold. I just wish I had not intervened with fate, and let our story unfold. If only I had listened to your heart, our fairy tale would still be told. Enchanted to say the least, my woods are now haunted by your memory. I lie awake at night, cursing myself for interrupting our peaceful reverie. I would do whatever it takes to have you back here with me, walking hand in hand, as we continue on our intended journey. Your arms removed the pain that was no stranger to my life, and wiped away the tears that were the sole remnants of my strife. Your hands held the glass slipper that would only fit as a result of your touch, and the necklace worn around my neck that held your voice is now tightly clutched. My shooting star that fell from the Heavens, and filled my world with light; you are irreplaceable, as my world is now blanketed in night. The breadcrumbs that I discarded along the path were meant to help me find my way, but instead I have fallen prey to witchery, and somehow gone astray. I conquered the beanstalk, but not the giant, who turned out to me in disguise. My own worst critic until the end, but hopefully not the cause of our love's demise. We sail through the skies aboard a ship that will lead us to our salvation, you are my saviour, and my knight, the object of my jubilation. Our fairy tale has just begun, kings and queens will envy the majesty of our land, I long to one day make you understand, that you are the only man I will accept again, as part of my life's plan. I can no longer run or hide, the coward in me has been coerced to leave, trust in me, and my words, we can start anew, just be the Adam to my Eve.
Time stood still for nary a soul, it dragged its feet, aching and old. Blistering heat that made us melt, we were once softer than silk felt. Hallowed hearts wind whistled through, covered in bruises, black and blue. Hardly broken, but maybe bent, running on empty and love spent. There comes a day in all our lives, when our failures cut deep as knives. But you shall remain a triumph, you stayed with me, like a science. Words were whispered, curses, we'd shout, until the blood drained from our mouths. Yesterday—softer than silk felt; seems like all we do these days is yell.
