Your Name
In the cobwebs of my existence
like lace, at the edge of time;
at the end of all hope, like soap on a rope,
there's a reason for this rhyme.
Through the hallways of my lifetime
echoing all the future brings,
I've been given such a gift
to warrant flying, without wings.
I was stagnant in some water
that's best described as ink;
I've been allowed to surface quicker,
and easier than you'd think.
In the silence of my darkest night
that darkens each and every frame,
there's a light that shines forever,
every time I say your name.
like lace, at the edge of time;
at the end of all hope, like soap on a rope,
there's a reason for this rhyme.
Through the hallways of my lifetime
echoing all the future brings,
I've been given such a gift
to warrant flying, without wings.
I was stagnant in some water
that's best described as ink;
I've been allowed to surface quicker,
and easier than you'd think.
In the silence of my darkest night
that darkens each and every frame,
there's a light that shines forever,
every time I say your name.
