I had no home

I was frightened of something

Or someone

And it was hard to see

The night was blinding me

I had the moon 

My only guiding light 

Under the stars

The many stars within the lonely night

I was looking for the answer

Instead I found the question

And you

More than enough

For who could hear us in the silence?

So we danced

Just you and I 

Drinking up our share of joy

All we have for life is all we need for love

When the night came

We were ready

All the songs in the world couldn’t touch us

Little bells in the night couldn’t blind us

As we fought a fight

So much greater than ourselves

With our love as our guide

Through the shadow

No need to hide from our nightmares

We wage war

But a cost, too high a cost

But it can’t be!

Such a cost must be paid 

I won’t falter.

No matter the cost,

I will save you.

I cannot let the fire-

Please don’t leave me

I will do all in my power.

No, I need you!

But your laugh, and your smile,

As you close your eyes

Guide me through all peril.

Please.

Don’t forget me.

Be at peace

I am no longer afraid.

So I go home.

I will be true.

We won, oh, we won

the fight, the war

that could not be lost.

It was hard, even after you paid 

the unthinkable price

It was worth it

I know

Though I don’t feel it

How could right hurt so much

Give the pain of a wrong?

Sometimes I’m tired

But I remember you 

And your courage

You loved me

So I try

Yet I wish I were home 

Home is where the heart is

In pieces

Without you

The moon 

My only guiding light

To lead me through the silence

I only have the question

But I know in a little while

When I close my eyes

You’ll find the answer

I’ll be home.
