What she sees

They look at me with disdain, 

Lurking in the shadows,  

reminding me not to take the lord in vain 

While I just sit there trying to explain 

That I am who I am, I´m not just an idea in my brain 

Or a problem to be solved 

Or someone that needs to be saved 

I press on, No one knows for sure if 

The heavens remain  

or if rivers ever turned to blood  

or if Icarus flew too close to the sun 

They look at me in horror  

Don´t they see what I see? 

The possibility of love  

of throwing away the masks, 

and showing the beauty that lies underneath 

Are they blinded by the obliviousness or just ignorance 

If they are an In bliss then I'm in an abyss 

Bittersweet, titanic-like darkness that I can't resist falling into 

But then she looks at me, not with disdain or horror 

She takes away the shadows and brings me into the light 

Like a ray of sunshine, she envelopes the night and me 

And brings us to life 

So that I may breathe, and love, and know more than  

I would have known without her light 

She shows me that I can't give up, that I have to fight 

And if they don’t understand well then that is their right 

But I can't change them any more than I can change  

My love for her, my desire 

She pulls me to her like a moth to a flame  

And I would follow her gladly,  

Regardless of her light, even without her fire 

Because no one knows for sure if the heavens remain 

Or if the rivers turned to blood, or if Icarus ever flew too close to the sun 

No one really knows if my love for her takes the lord´s name in vain

the lord is not here and even if he suddenly appeared? I´d love her all the same
