You came to me through the years
brushed away my sorrow and tears
I confided in you my deepest fears
you gently kissed and whispered in my ears
I want you forever a part of my life
to stay beside me through anger and strife
your presence is sharp like the edge of my knife
you keep me from turning it on myself
I lay it to rest on the space of my shelf
my blood no longer flows to spill without pain
as you whispered you were mine again and again
as we lay in your bed and listened to the storm
candles flickering as we laid there so warm
you said you were mine
I kept repeating that line
so many times in my mind
you were the comfort I could find
the first one that cared
I could have even dared
to give what we shared...
you came to me like a shroud of mist
all that I built was nothing when we kissed
I love you more than anything in my life
for you I laid down my knife
as you promised you would do for me
together we are free
from the loneliness that consumes me
