Love's Walk

When all that's left inside is torn

And confusion's wife still has a child to be born

When if feels like my soul's been caged with the key outside

I'll stop and rest in the comfort of your eyes

When you can't help but mock love's desire

And feelings become an enemy that have set your heart on fire

Your sick of fighting these wars and taking these stands

I'll make myself lay down in the softness of your hands

When life's maps become a maze

and all signs point back to pain

Suffering crawls up with a worn out shine

I'll have the strength to grab its hand if you grab mine

As we walk, shepherd and sheep

I'll finally give you my heart, it was never mine to keep

We'll have that conversation I always knew we would

A question I didn't think would matter, but the test of time its stood

I'll start to talk with soft embarrased words,

you'll look down in grace and silently speak things I've never heard

"Oh lover what questions does your mouth hold,

You've come to ask of things you don't know.

You think of love, how it makes home in your stomach

You look for love in every fresh eyes sunset

You explain love with its boundaries and securities

You expect love to travel the road of uncertainty."

I start to think, and you hold my hand tighter

Sufferings touch becomes dim, and my heart becomes lighter

I look up at my savior, a small spark in his eye

I look over at suffering, who has begun to cry

Just maybe, love is a fight to be lost

holding the strong arm of a paradox

Maybe love is still certain,

When a return for it is lost

Maybe love is something I've always known

Tried to force it out but it refuses to be shown

Then again, if you can tell love what to do,

Then maybe that love shouldn't be called true

Love is a mystery, from warmth to torture

Love has moved on the moment you're unsure

If you must ask what love is, I'd look at you and say

My friend you're first taste of it must be far away
