A reason to be

 
Eyes open wide, killing time;
Patience is not a virtue I possess.
I need a guiding light, come let it shine;
My soul is aching for a love, this I must confess.


Been here so long, hiding behind,
Anything I think can protect me from living this life.
My hopes and my dreams were up in the sky,
But now they are here in my hands and now is my time.


Pictures still form inside my head;
Wishes are wasted, dreams of a lesser man.
If I can’t give you my all, then you will not get my best,
So I dive into my mind and when I return I am a better man.


The love that I desire brings you to me;
The love that I crave is my magnetic need.
The love that I had, it was not really real;
But the love that I will find, it will remedy.


We all have a dream, so why can’t I?
Why can I not be the one to make you smile?
If all that I have left is this one last chance,
Then take my heart from my poetry and let me be worthwhile.


The darkness has gone and the sun shines;
The warmth of your love is all the empathy I seek.
I needed you to become my life line.
You gave me more than a chance;
You gave me hope
And a reason to be.
