Compassion To Give

Here I sink into a river of emotions

It runs no deeper than my pain

My cry for love is unheeded

As is the deserts cry for rain

While I drift lifelessly down the stream

Memories drown me from within

I see us standing together along the shore

I see myself diving in

You were the spark that burst into flame

And I so willingly burned

You were the light that blinded my eyes

And still I refused to turn

Thrust into life outside our shield of love

We are discovered worlds apart

I search for you but you can't feel me

Crying out within your heart

I know it's over even though we've just begun

Compassion aching for release

Still we know we'll be together

As the illusion begins to cease
