Secret Confessions

 



(A lone voice whispers)


You're my book of revelations


Every page, a divine creation


My alpha and my omega


My rebirth through every weather


You’re the rhythm in my heartbeat


Soft and sacred when you hold me


Life and death inside your eyes


Heaven wrapped in your sighs


And if you walk away from me…

Oh girl, what would I be?


If your faith in me is gone…

Tell me how do I go on?


You’re my hope… and my joy

My night… and my day

Don’t you ever drift away


You’re my light… when I’m lost


The only truth I can’t deny

Girl, you’re my reason why


Oh stay… stay… don’t fade away


You’re the song my soul can’t destroy

My hope… my joy…


If you leave, I’d be in shadows

Dancing with my broken echoes


Every prayer would sound your name

Every tear would fall the same


You’re the fire in my silence


The calm within my storm of violence


Only you have ever known

The child inside I’ve never shown


So if in me you don’t believe…

Girl, that’s all I’d ever need


To fall apart, to lose my way…

Don’t let our love just fade to grey…
