~~Defiant Lover~~

I choose to live, I choose to laugh

I choose to dance, in defiance

I know the going's tough

I'll stand tall, in my self-reliance

I need no more than me

But I will cling to you

You keep away my agony

And you've been here through and through

My beloved, do you know?

How strongly I feel inside

Whenever you say you must go

And I know I'll need to hide..

Hide how much the loneliness hurts

When you're so far but so close

The tears always fall, like raindrops in spurts

Between the lightning that shows

The truth of it all, the natural wild light

Revealing the broken grin

And the eternal shame, clutched close at night

The knowledge of one being damned because of sin

And damned I am, and damned I'll ever be

Through what I let you do

Do to me

I promised you me, and I'll follow through

I'll give you my anger, and my love

I'll keep you safe, forever until the end

I'll watch over from above

Keep you close, my broken friend

You are the one I choose

You are the one I'll keep by my side

I'll never let go, never lose

The one who never makes me hide....
