LIFE'S TICKING CLOCK
Years pass by and I remain
In a
darkened black abyss
A
prison that envelopes me
While
others live in bliss
I claw the sides of the pit
That
holds my soul so deep
I
cannot see the light to guide
Me from
this hell that keeps
My soul imprisoned from all joy
My
heart so filled with grief
The
hurt so deep within my soul
The
darkness is a thief
The light appears from afar
The
darkness between it lays
I do
not have the strength to walk
Towards
the light of day
Within this darkness are the dreams
That
will not set me free
To live
to laugh to love again
It is
my only plea
A bridge of love and friendship
Would
make my journey brief
If you
could help me build one
Then I
can escape my grief
To wrap myself so safely
Within
your warm embrace
And
build our life in sunshine
The
demons we would chase
Back to the pit of darkness
Where
they can never pull me down
To face
the hellish nightmares
Or
cause my soul to frown
Each morning with the sunshine
We
would rise to face the day
If bad
memories tried to surface
Our
love would keep them away
I'm not strong enough to get better
Without
you next to me
I want
to come to you right now
Your
love will set me free
We'll kiss away the teardrops
We will
love away the fear
We will
live our life in happiness
The
darkness will never appear
Today is when I need you
Tomorrow may be too late
Each
day passes swiftly by
While
the demons choose my fate
Your lips so tender on my face
Your
hands caressing me
It is
those special times we have
That I
am finally free
The clock of life can't be rewound
The
days behind are lost
Today
is the day to love and live
No
matter what the cost
We are soul mates, you and I
and
forever we shall be
One
soul sharing two bodies
You
live inside of me
I give you my love forever
My
heart belongs to you
Hold it
ever so gently
Just as
I will hold yours too
We will one day be together
Never
to walk away
The
goodbyes will be behind us
And
together we will stay
Hold tight to all our memories
They
are our strength for today
Soon we
will be together
Not for
a day but forever and always
