To the one I love.

by Jacob M Parnell   Jan 31, 2006


Time stands still.
And I close my eyes to see.
Stuck with this chill.
The only one here is me.
--------------------------------------------
I can feel the rain.
As it drops upon my face.
It etches thoughts in my brain.
It takes its embrace.
---------------------------------------------
Thunder hits.
It never misses a beat.
Its a constant blitz.
It doesn't retreat.
---------------------------------------------
Lightning clashes.
The sky turns an ecstatic blue.
The world crashes.
And I'm stuck thinking of you.
--------------------------------------------
Then it hits me.
The storm isn't outside.
Its my own marquee.
And it wont subside,
---------------------------------------------
Your stuck in my mind.
Rendering it impossible to think.
My vision goes blind.
And my brain floods with ink.
---------------------------------------------
Its your love.
That consumes my brain.
Its your love.
That drives me insane
---------------------------------------------
You bring me up.
And push down.
Throw my heart.
All around.
---------------------------------------------
I throw my friends away.
Just for an hour.
When All I want is a single day.
Its too bad only you have the power.
--------------------------------------------
I can help but cry.
When I think of our love so true.
Even though you leave me high and dry.
I cant help but love you.
----------------------------------------------
I just only wish you understood this.
Maybe then you would see.
Can you not feel it in my kiss.
Do you not know what our love can be.
-----------------------------------------------
Take my hand.
Open your heart.
This wasn't planned.
But Ive loved you from the start.
------------------------------------------------
I would swim any ocean.
I would climb any wall.
Just for you to know.
That for our love I stand tall.
----------------------------------------------
I'm resilient to the world.
As long as you are by my side.
This is my heart's final swirl.
Because in it is where my love will reside.
----------------------------------------
I love you today.
Tomorrow wont change a thing.
It seems cliche.
But I know this isn't a fling.
-----------------------------------------
I'm under your spell.
I'm stuck in your trance.
And I knew from the moment I fell.
I didn't have a chance.
-----------------------------------------
So here you go.
You've got my heart.
If you love me let me know.
Just don't tear me apart.....
