To my dearest love: You promise a warmth that'll seep in my soul. I hope you realize, Afraid of the sun, I am Lost in the thunderous nights, Of the storm that promises Destruction in its sight. You promise of this home away from your arms. I hope you realize, Afraid of the world, I am A shadow drowning in white, Of the unconditional love That demands a sacrifice. How can you forbid me To wait for the only warmth and love I know You know (I know you do) You've seen what I am So I cling to you, or the idea of, For your words are my moon, with borrowed light, and the calm of the sea I'm filled with life. From the bottom of my heart, The most sincerely forsaken person -Maniksha
