Wait for me
In the heart of winter
Where the cold bears no grudge
Against our love.
Meet me in the frozen forest
And kiss me in the dying light.
Encase our warmth in ice, eternal.
Like lovers are born to do.
My love, I can no longer suffer
The cruelty of goodbye.
Or curse the dreaded memory
Of the last time, I heard your voice.
Because you kissed away my fears
And made love to my mind.
Turned my demons into Angels,
And loved me more
Despite it.
You transformed my nightmares into
Ash and absolved me of my sins.
You took a chance on
A broken shell of someone
Who was lost.
I will love you till we are
Fragments of bone and dust.
Through all space and time.
Because you loved me
When no one else could.
When I didn’t even love
Myself.
So call my name,
And I’ll answer.
I’ll come running to you.
Because I should’ve never let
You go.
I never should’ve left your side.
