eyes closed

 
lingering doubt whispers I love you
eyes closed I see you
in the world choosing not to see
me in the darkness cold
leaving myself behind bit by bit

I shiver in the emptiness of it
I know in my soul I'm alone
chained to a destiny without you

I long to touch grace
troubling the waters I seek your essence
my voice rises on the winds
and I send my soul out into the night
may I find you lover

within my solemn vow I am alone
reaching across the void to caress you

I sing to the dark
shimmers the ache and I'm there with you
in your chambers
a presence in love with a man who will never be mine

I tremble inside the light that sees me forlorn
a woman of pain
forgotten by the day
