Prayer for a Loved One

by Shade   Apr 26, 2006


Gently leaning over, I brush your hair aside,
I listen your breathing, I hear you softly sigh,
A single tear falls, as i kiss your angel eyes,
And I whisper in your ear, 'Please don't leave me tonight'

I took your hand in mine, so many years ago,
Promised we would live a life, together, not alone,
But now I'm in a place, where the promise cant be kept,
In here i am powerless, like a wave I'm being swept.

Down on my knees, with my feelings being driven,
I call out your name, I scream to the heavens,
Tears burn scars, as they roll down my face,
Prayers lost to stars, an echo in space.

You were the one, who lay in my arms,
as the candle slowly burned,
You were the one, who stayed in my heart,
As the seasons slowly turned,
Now your the one, who's lying alone,
As time slowly passes,
Now your the one, who's breaking my heart,
As faith turns to ashes.

I go down on my knees but i hold my head high,
I call out your name as i scream to the sky,
Tears leaving scars as they roll down my face,
My prayers are lost to the echo of space.

Kissing your lips softly, your hair falls into place,
Your breathing now is gentle, but no comfort can erase,
The single tear that falls, down your angel face,
I Plead, I Beg, I wish... I pray 'Just be Safe'

Catch a glimpse say a prayer
Hope you know I'm always there
Keep me close keep me near
You know ill always love you dear.
