With All My Might

Why do I close my eyes
When your lips are pressed against mine?
Who am I afraid to see
When I know it's you kissing me?

Standing alone with you and my thoughts
Battling all my fears and wants.
Clinging to that which is good and right
Tightly gripping with all my might.

Stopping to take in some winter air
Wondering if this is all we can bare.
Wiping the tears from your desperate eyes
As if we have just said our last goodbyes.

No one knows the pain we're in
Unless they've traveled the places we have been.
Hitting the wall of love and war.
Batteling the demons of life and more.

What will we do to let this be?
A harmonious life of you and me.
Walking together with hand in hand.
Leaning on each other to help us stand.

The choice is there to set us free.
Life alone or you and me.
Not sure of what will come of this.
So just close your eyes and finish our kiss.

The Open Road

I was walking down the lonely road
Passing signs that read "You're not alone."
I turned around to look and see
But the only one I see is me.

I turned to walk awhile more.
Not knowing what lay ahead in store.
Hanging my head down low.
For I hadn't a desire to know.

Rain falling on the ground.
Was all the noise I had around.
Until I heard that sweet sound of your voice.
Guiding me onward as if I had no choice.

Why am I fearful of letting go?
I asked as I really want to know.
"Walk with me and you will see.
I will lead you to where you need to be."

"Go with faith and your head up high.
There will be times of sorrow and fright.
And although its a long and winding road
I promise you will never be alone."

Words of comfort most in need
Brought hope to my troubled heart indeed.
Breaking free of the cage I'm in.
Gaining strength from where I've been.

I walk down the open road
Obeying the signs of where to go.
And although I feel lost and unaware
I know I will most assuredly get there.
