The Water Between

Though a shadow within the darkness
There is a light in there
Just begging to be reached
To be released
Loved true and deep

Like a child
Comforted by the rock beneath
Yearning for the ground continuing beyond
The water between, fearsome
Belief and will to survive
Rescues that child by that ground beneath
Limitless to dream

Many shadows in between
Begging and gripping
Not love, nor lust to relieve
Pureness
Their putrefying release

Like a child
Inside the limitless
Dreams are just dreams
Shadows
Raping the release

This was not love
This was not love
This was not love

Beauty not in the eyes
Behind it deep
Loved true and deep
Lost…
Lost
Lost
Inside those childish dreams
Inside the putrefying release

I just wanted to breathe
I just wanted to breathe
I just wanted to breathe
Just to breathe!
Smell something I truly believed
Feel it…
Felt it
Felt it
I felt that beauty behind it deep
I felt their putrefying release
I had dreamed
And dreamed
And dreamed
I was not loved
I was not loved
I was not loved
I was not loved
I became a shadow within the darkness

But there’s still a light in there
Just begging to be reached
To be released
Loved true and deep

A child I’ve stowed deep
Losing it
Protecting it
But losing it!

But those eyes
I saw something deep
I saw it
I saw it
I saw it
I felt again
Like a child
Comforted by the rock beneath
Fearsome of it beneath!
But those eyes
I saw something deep
The child weeped

And I knew inside…
I know inside…
There is a light
Just begging to be reached
