My Dear Darling

Disconnection was always the word.
The word that pulled me away from family or everything
My life turned into a spiral, nothing focused, everything blurred
Being dangled in front of perfection on the thinnest of strings
The most beautiful of all lights shun upon your face
As I watched you bow your head in dismay and disgust
Thoughts running in my head “just pull him into your embrace”
I needed to gain your trust.

I had to have you there was no other way
To see your perfection each and every single day
To hear you say once more, I’m never walking away
To no longer see everything in grey
I wish you could feel my heart
The way it leaps out of my chest when your name is spoken
The way it’s torn apart when you say goodbye
The way it jumps high when you say my heart will never be broken
I will not leave your side
You've supported me through taking such a big stride
In my life I never could believe
That I could ever achieve making you mine.

I like to believe you saved my life,
You held my hand tight and made me drop my knife.
You've always been there,
You've always been fair.
Being with you is a breath of fresh air
You're my special gem, an artifact so rare
My life without you, the thought I cannot bear.

So my baby never stray,
As I'd never betray
The love I have for you
I'll be here through and through.
through your darkness and your pain,
Your sunshine and your rain;
Because my darling - I love you.
