Something Eternal

heard the voice first when i was 15
worlds turned upside down
then saw glimmers in eyes of pretty girls
tried to tame ‘em down
much to my dismay
now i lie in disarray

latching on to the good
to the kind and beautiful
it’s a constant war
to defeat this bitterness
but to also let it be
let it shine and let it breathe

so shall it desolve
like all things
i found in you
something eternal
you said it was only a part of you
but i knew you were wrong

so my body and my mind
turned into hell
to protect you
had to let you go on
without me there in your life
basking in your sunshine

one day you will see
something eternal
in every being
including me
i might wait for you
see how this one plays out
if you were the one for me

from all this madness and chaos
will this wound continue to burn
will my body continue to yearn
for your love

if there is a next time
if we shall meet again
lets choose forever
come what may
i will show you
something eternal
you will know my name
and you will never forget it
