When you cry I shall hold you tight,
when you scream I shall kiss you,
I don't need your thanks,
I won't demand your time.
You think you're strong,
but I know the truth.
You fight the urge every day,
all you need,
all you want,
is someone,
to wipe your tears away.
I declare my love
to the stars at night,
the wolf will howl my plight.
I trudge down this boulevard
with only shadows beside me,
wondering, if I am merely
a feather, blown on your
breath of life,
hustled against my will
towards the flame,
which will engulf,
all my hopes,
and dreams.
I declare my love
while the birds gaze on,
above the clouds I am no one.
I am blown away
by time,
washing me down,
into the warm embrace
of unreality,
dousing my feelings,
they become smoke,
mere whisperings
upon the wind
of time,
now they are stolen.
