Eclipse

Over my life

Like a blade

You stare, hoping

That I'll ask you

To go away.

Forshadowing some terror

only you can see,

I stand firm

Because it agonizes me

When your light

Doesn't shine through my window.

An all-consuming eclipse

Blocking the past from view,

You always knew,

Only reluctant to accept

That I am yours,

one way or another.

An all-consuming, powerful eclipse

Overshadowing the normalcy of life,

Too beautiful to bear

Too strong to ignore

I am yours.

Too beautiful

Magnificent

The first sight, your look was deadly

And still I didn't run away

"Are you afraid?"

Honestly?

To think that your silver path of moonlight

Across the dark sea

Could slip away

That is fear enough.

An all-consuming eclipse

Blocking the past from view

You always knew

Only reluctant to accept

That I am yours,

One way or another.

An all-consuming, powerful eclipse

Overshadowing the normalcy of life,

Too beautiful to bear

Too strong to ignore

I am yours

I am yours

I started out young

Fascinated with temptation

Passionate to love

Now that it's come to this

I wish it to end in ice.

An all-consuming eclipse

Blocking the past from view

You always knew

Only reluctant to accept

That I am yours,

One way or another,

An all-consuming, powerful eclipse

Overshadowing the normalcy of life

Too beautiful to bear

Too strong to ignore

I am yours

I am yours.
