Stolen View~

Time stole a view 

of your 

perfect face

and robbed me of a 

pure embrace

My shattered mind  

sank  

to disgrace 

but spoke in prayers 

that brought me 

grace

I was a soul who'd 

left out 

love 

and closed 

that door 

with an angry 

shove

I'd live without 

a one 

called "dear"

but slowly sank 

a bitter 

tear

I found him at the 

strangest place

and set

the  

clock 

to fit his

pace

                                                                                                                             

He took my heart 

in leaps and bounds

while I endured 

in thorny 

crowns

From on my cross 

I'll rise up high

And pray I'll see him

as I die

His life is not the 

one 

he owns 

they'll grind him

down from

skin 

to 

bones.

I hope he finds a nice 

life back

That's free from

anger

and attack

I'll love him here

until I die

Then from a star

up in the sky

I know I'll never say 

"good-bye"

Forever in love.
