Everything for Nothing...?


An indecisive drop of sweat 

drips down from your worried face.

In the gateways to your soul

I can see the disgrace.

A feeling, a fear, a phantom in tears.

A sensation that gives the heart an ache.

Shall not you worry my beloved twin flame,

because this love will never go away.

You sing and I reply,

with words that testify,

the willing power to love, understand, and grow.

And most beautifully... fly.

So with love in my eyes, and kindness in my words I ask you:

Why would I leave everything, for nothing, for just a night?

Just a night, where the flight is with fright,

because deep down in my demise I realize:

How could I be so blind?

So blind to not see, that you are all I need.

And as a smile on my face, wipes your tears away,

I let you know that it will be all okay.

With hopes and dreams we will go forth.

And never trading everything for nothing,

holding hands, old, on our porch.
