Never the never

Never the never

If all was to disappear in front of your eyes,

Would you still reach out for me? 

In an echo chamber I am only ever,

Calling out for you to hear the words that I need to speak.

If I was to whisper, into a gale force wind,

Would you find a way to hear the words that I say? 

If I am gone in the morning light, as you open your eyes,

Would you still reach out for me? 

Would I still be near...?

Would you find a way?

You resonate, around my mind,

When ear plugs are in, to drown the din,

Of everything that I can’t help but think. 

When I am blind drunk you are still the only one;

A sight for sore eyes, that feels right inside. 

I keep you next to my heart, to never be torn apart,

By your absence or absinthe; a step too far. 

We are in a three legged race to the finish. 

Broken wishes, broken promises;

Never heart’s in broken pieces. 

We regenerate each other every day with the words we each say

And in the way we move in tune, so soon, I am with you again,

As without you could never even be considered. 

All the love, I have to give; if selected,

I would never again have a heart of wither. 

With or without, you are priceless; no selling out. 

Counting diamonds as they escape from your mouth

And leave me intent on making this last. 

You are my first; you will be my last. 

You take me past the past and into forever. 

I am statue, made human by you. 

Brought to life by your promise of never the never.
