The anguish of love

Stillness belies the anguish that rocks your soul to sleep,
Destined to bear your agony alone, your eyes weep.
The radiant smile lighting up your face cannot cast away
Agony of your heart that you try to wash away in your tears.
The crushing bitterness of fleeting sorrow cannot to rest lay
Your resolve to reach the light that in the distance appears.

Your tears shall then sparkle, grateful for the life you gave
It was your love that held them so dear and then let go.
Pray take this lonely soul with you the rest of your way
The solace that eludes you; but alluring you to move on
That healing touch, together, we might find one day
Only to begin all over again, this journey you'll never finish
Every end is a new beginning, this journey that you make
The love you discover, the love you give and graciously take
You'll die a million deaths and be born again a million times

And then one day you'll decide that I too must die and be gone
I shall then gladly lay my life in your hands to do as you please
For dreams will cease to be when you wake up to the dawn
The dreams of your waking hours you'll keep, it'll never be me.
I'll return to my solitude happy 'cause I was once your "dreams"
