For David

by Trisha Hanudel - Gemini

No more lies, my jaded heart cries
The past alive, its dusty road lies
The road that gets me nowhere
They won't listen and no one cares
I've been down this road a million times
Searching for redemption and solace in crime
Echoes that float through the light of dawn
What hurts to remember is never too far gone

New hearts love, new hands heal
My heart again unsheltered, left open to steal
In unbroken faith lies my only danger
I'd give anything to look through the eyes of a stranger
For something unknown, a welcome break from my world
Desperate for any escape from the past I've come to know
Your eyes shine like lights from the shore
Guiding me home from amid the crashing waves' deafening roar
Under my wave it's not safe anymore

My soul, once lost and alone
Has found solace with yours
My flame began to flicker yet still it dimly shone
Your hand in mine, your warmth reassures
The smile you give freely
Lights my way, rekindles my flame
You've shown me to love without fear
To trust without doubt, to cry without shame
The darkness in my soul I so closely held as mine
I am not afraid to reveal to you
I might just be right this time
I might just believe this time.

Reason for writing:

    David, if you find this, I love you. You mean so much to me, you've really helped me restore my faith in love and life. No matter where you go, where we both end up, you will always have your very own place in my heart. I love you David!!!
