Tears Behind The Eyes

Holding you close was the best thing to happen to me
It will never end this love story we share
With one heart we enter into life entwined like branches
Climbing towards the sun from two different trees
Bearing different fruits that when mixed germinate a flower
The zest of yearning for something more then what is offered
Oh and how it breaks my heart to see you cry
When you stretch for a relationship that will never be
I see you failing and falling
And I'm always right behind to catch you
Saying in the end we will be okay
With your smile so warm I catch a glimpse
Of a heart that's broken from birth like mine
Looking to me to be the suchers that hold it together
There will be no judgement day for you my love
You've already faced the fire and come through
Yet in this life it is not yet over
So many times I've wished to cover you in my mind
That you could enter my world and understand
Out of pain the formation of hate takes shape
Using it as a barrier against the onslaught
Taking back what is rightfully ours
No one gets to tell us who we are or what we do
On to new discoveries with the wind at our sails
Blowing us to only God knows where
Never really arriving but being satisfied in the movement of the stars
Falling below painted lines the maps become a blur of blues and greens
Just like the sea which hold us
Gently engulfed by the oceans as a hand is cupped for water
Cradled in a nest of dreams we are whisked away
Knowing at any moment that what was once our tears
Can turn against us and drown us in the dark
Who really knows of the creatures that swim below
Calling out from the waves
Enticing us to take to slumber beneath the foams of oblivion
I wish to take it all away
To be the one that carries your pain so that you would never have to
Running away from the merciless ones who claim to love us
They will never have what we have
And I will never allow them to come up against this
So full of fear yet I will be your fearless one
With the question now present
What do I do with mine?
I cram it way deep down and take you in my arms
Protecting you forever
Even wiping the tears fallen behind your eyes
