Fate

The earth shakes when I hear your name.

The summer sky turns to gold.

The birds start to sing our favourite song

When we think about growing old,

Sitting together in our beautiful home,

White curtains hanging bold,

Stained with the paint of late night screams,

A hint of blood on the floor.

My heart can’t help but bleed

When you walk out the door.

How the thunder stops and lighting strikes

When you hold me in your arms.

When we want to feel close, yet feel so far

Because no amount of love is ever enough.

My longing and aching never ends;

Your touch truly mends

Every wound I’ve ever endured,

Most of which were at your hands.

How my knees go weak and my naive heart beats

When you show up in front of me,

Your eyes shining with that glimmer of hope

That I’m hoping, this time, we can keep.

Although the hurt feels like a dagger,

It only makes me stronger,

Strong like we are when we are together.

And still, oh still, you fill me with faith

Because we both know

This is our fate.
