To the End of the Universe and Back
To what once was.
Sun dried skin
Bruised and scarred lips
Scratches that run down the sides of your face
Lovely works and aching hips
An old, water-stained photograph stands before you in the mirror
Tongues that move to their own deception
These are the ones that cause you devastation
The ones who tell you you can’t
The ones who lie, abuse
And steal from you
They are the ones that need to be removed
From your side
I know that everyone who promised they’d stay
Lied
But I’m not like them
I’m unlike the rest
My promises are meant, cherished and kept
I just want you
You’re imperfect beauty is perfection to me
I’ll show you that you can give me the key
To your heart, to your strength
I will never take
Anything from you
You can trust me
I’m speaking the truth
You don’t deserve the hand you’ve been given
So I’ll give you back what’s been taken
Don’t be mistaken
My love, my life
My love for you reaches beyond the skies
You are worthy of so much more
You are worth more than the stars
The fortunes and fancy cars
You’re the sun that sheds light over my world
My aching, and tormented world
And I’ll be the sun-kissed rain that falls upon yours
Your world, your body
I’ll breathe it all in
Don’t give up
Don’t listen to them
I will stay
I will love you, and take your hand as I kneel on one knee
I will ask you, my love, my love
Will you please marry me?
I wouldn’t want to spend eternity
With anyone else
Oh please, my goddess
Please don’t leave me for someone else
I will stay
I hope you will too
This is what I promise to you
I love you to the end of the universe and back
You are the goddess that constantly gives me heart attacks
Just by seeing you smile
I will sing you to sleep, and have you fall into my arms
No one will hurt you, you won’t be harmed
As we live and grow
As our hearts begin to slow
As our bodies grow weak
And it becomes hard to speak
Hard to see
And hard to breathe
As our breaths turn into gasps
And our hair turns grey
I will be the one
I will be the one who stays
Forever
For all eternity I swear
Together, as our bodies fail and we fade into the world around us
I’ll still be holding your hand
And I will never let it go
I’ll never let you go
(2013)
