[hometext] => i dont think I've written this strong for a while.
[bodytext] => If words have power to move and to mold, If people obey just because they are told Then I shall speak now as I have never spoken, This is my last effort to make myself visible. From the time the first rays of dawn touch the sky Till the sun has set and the birds no longer fly From the first hint of night to the beginning of day I am there, always. I watch you with sadness and I watch you with hurt It is with such pain I look at you, I think I might burst My heart is merely human, but my emotions know no bounds I look at you, and my soul is aching. But the love lies therein, within the sadness of time That could have been ours, but now is just mine Spent alone and weeping, crying your name, wishing That you could see me. The nights were like eternities, cold and dark While I held you so softly, in the silence that was so stark I sang to you and whispered what you wanted to hear, And never did I leave your side. And I was there when you were shedding tears in the rain I caressed your soft hair with no shame I breathed for you, breathed you until the sun came to shine And I would have kept singing just to please you. But somehow, and some way, I was never visible unless you were down In your brightest moments, I watched and never made a sound I was there through it all, casting no shadow And not once did I ever ask for anything in return. So if love conquers all, then I will take what I can Whether it be singing you to sleep or just watching you stand, And maybe you will see me, for I am there For you, my heart is always open.
