To You-- - Poetry - Lakeside Park

To You--

to you, who has captured my heart--
to you, who has lived beneath my wing--
to you, who has given more than life--

i beg of you: do not close your eyes.
because if you cannot see the darkness
neither can you see the light.

behind those thin masks lurks only you,
as full of both darkness and light
as the rest of our world.

open your eyes with me--let us shine
for each other, like the twin candles
that have lit so many of our evenings.

to you, who has received my heart--
to you, who has accepted my soul--
to you, who has given me to myself--

live for me, as i do for you


Whenever the world weighs on your shoulders, I'm here for you. When all the world is against you, and the path is dark and lonely, I will carry you along it. And if hope ever abandons you, let my love sustain you.
