In Their Presence

by Meme   Apr 15, 2011


In the presence of love
All the beating hearts stop
To bow in front of its magic
And hope it will rise up

In the presence of hate
Darkness runs in your veins
It takes over who you are
Until nothing of your soul remains

In the presence of life
Those wandering the earth
Trying to find a purpose to live
Searching for it since their birth

In the presence of death
Surrounded by blood and guns
You try to escape, but all you see
Is the reflection of your loved ones

In the presence of happiness
You always loose track of time
Trying to capture those moments
You look for them; for a lifetime

In the presence of depression
Time stops for a little while
When you take a step forward
You are actually going back a mile
