Time In Silence

I will wait for you here much like a stone

Asleep, but awake when I hear your tone

It is hard to believe I could love this hard

For the rest of my life you will have my heart

Silence, in presence of everything else

Defiance, in spirit, I deserve this hell

I will forever crave your grace until I heal

Wounded forever and forever scarred I feel

I will not face a future without your light

I know now I can’t get anything right

I gave my heart recklessly, but for real

I cannot just toss you away like a peel.

You say I must let you go, but that would be a lie

A lie to my heart, a lie to my soul, a lie to my mind

I have and never will give anything half way

Even if you are gone, I will set time aside in silence every day.
