Forever You: Boundless

Intricate, so delicate, fragile to touch,
Shielded away, a place where I dare not see,
But travel anyway.
You've been hurt, unbearable pain,
Shared that grief, it knows you too personally.
Every man, every disappointment,
I'm sure it wasn't their intent.
So you offered your heart forever,
They only meant it lent.
And for that I lament,
Embracing the anguish.
So I can find the remedy to extinguish,
Every concern you ever had about this love.
I've waited my whole life,
For you waiting longer is nothing.
As you're everything to me,
Finding the one my soul loveth.
The woman I've written about for so many years,
Now having uncovered your identity,
Search for that day you'll be next to me.
Not just to be loved,
To feel the warmth of your love.
A gift, that should never be shared,
Deeply in love, for you I'll always care.
But that all I have, all the creator has placed in me,
Poured in to this vessel,
Allow me to pour into you.
Boundless without limits,
As I breath my love for you will continue.
Happiness for you, that's all I'm pursuing,
Would you rather I said you make me happy?
Or that you're the illumination to my soul,
Shiny brighter than any star Heaven could unfold?
Yet I'm a simple man,
Formed from the dust, yet here I stand.
Ready to be all you could ever want, and need,
Seeing I was born to love you, I more than believe.

Broken

I fall weakened, tortured by the sound,
As my heart pounds repeatedly in my throat,
Prepared to burst upon all I hold dear.
Tears that would fall are stalled.
Fractured into a millions pieces,
Now dust, my soul sprinkles.
Like rain that should give life,
But darkness is all I feel,
When right at this time I don't want to feel.
Wondering how am I to live,
Feeling empty, I have nothing left to give.
These are the workings of my soul,
The things, that should be left untold.
I would never give another the chance,
You can have your "Happy Endings" and "Blissful Romance".
I can't see, I can't hear,
Embraced in the darkness.
I used to call for the light,
But I've become too accustomed to the night.
Thinking this is how it always ends,
No longer at Love trying to win.
I only hurt, if I try,
I only cry, when Love dies.
God take this pain away,
I should have never gone my own way.
Will you hear my plea,
Bloodied from too many times crawling on my knees.
Help me, this can't be where you want me to be,
How can loving someone bring this much grief.
Broken beyond repair, calling for sleep,
If I never wake up, will the world even weep.
But I'm only one, so life will go on,
So I find comfort in knowing that in time I can survive, if I just hold on.
