I just want to be held by someone
To have another soul nearby, to warm my cold, frozen heart of stone
Cracked as a brick that has fallen from atop the wall, and sits broken and alone in the pale snow
Someone, who will sit by me, and hold me, till my tears can once again flow free
And my soul can dance, and my lips can smile, truly smile
For they fell no weight of pain
And are open to the life of that love
I want a love so profound, that it courses through my veins
And fills my heart with a warmth and life
Like a dying leaf touched by the sweet drop of rain
Thus restored and whole again
Such is my hope, that burns like a lone, dying ember
Waiting, ever waiting, ere the day should come where I cast off this pain
And dance, naked as a newborn babe, in the open rain of that sweet, undying love
But alas, for I fear this day will not come
And I will be left destitute, like a ship, lost at sea, without hope or light to guide
Tossed on the swirling waves of doubt, and tumultuous crests of loneliness
I fear I will descend, like a stone in quicksand, to a cold and lonely existence
With my cold heart merely beating, but yet dead as the very stone my lifeless feet tread upon
Where the ice, reckons me, and I dare not refuse, for there is naught else to hope or wish for
Lest my heart crack once again
And so I will turn, and wait, fear gripping my every step
In turn with the ice that slowly stops me in my tracks
For the ember has gone out, and the light has faded
And I am left once again, truly alone…
