A Love Too Soon Proclaimed

I swallow the pain
I must move on
I'm running away
I need to belong

Leaving the numbness
I called home behind
Searching for everything
With nothing to find

I've wasted too much time
Decisions must be made
I wonder into the shadows
My mind begins to fade

Your face is so vivid
Impossible to forget
My doubts creep up on me
But i mustn't regret

Nighttime is falling
My tensions increase
I continue my path
And suddenly...peace

I sense you
You must be near
My sanity is deceiving
My mind is too unclear

I walk in your direction
My mind elsewhere
Your scent is so strong
I would swear you were there

Driven by the image
Of an angels face
Hopefully leading
To a better place

So physically drained
But moving to your essence
Enlightened with thoughts
Of accompanying your presence

I stagger upon a moonlit pond
And see my reflection
I soon realize
I am a victim of misconception

I stumble forward
My knee's giving out beneath me
I break the liquid surface
Sinking slowly

I'm sinking in the consequences
Of a love to soon proclaimed
I'm drowning in your love
For that I am ashamed
