Sun Rise

As the sun rises in your life
I find it setting in mine
Putting the remnants of light away
and allowing the shadow to take watch
I could've shared your light
Following a new star
But I stay behind
under the weary eyes of the dark

I take your mind in my own and I see myself fading

Looking for a remedy to it all
I try to mend
my leaking image as it pours from you
and you see me again

The puddle of myself has stopped growing for now
I am no doctor
my stitches won't hold
Waiting for the end, I reach for a switch
hoping to find a light before its all to late
and there it is!!
The whole world lights up before my very eyes and
I meet you again, unafraid

When the wounds reopen
I'll finally pour out of you
Memories lost like blood down the drain
but as the sun rises in your life
I'll meet you at that crossroads of light
and I'll say goodbye
Leaving with a smile of thanks
I'll turn away, into the glow of my own
rising star.
