Ouidas' Rose

13

I'll catch your tears in my hand
Be the bottle for your ocean
Hide away your story
Keep it locked within my soul
Shelter you
From the rain that's raging
I'll be the key to the lock that never opens
Be the sand, counting seconds, keeping time

Make every breath you take have purpose
The air you breath in, from your lungs
Catch it all before it fades away
Be the light
That sees me through
I know it's been said
Many times I have read
But all the same for you is true
Many hearts
Break and fall
Struggle amidst it all
But one thing is true
You are the light
Guiding my every step

The graveyard cool in winters breeze
Frosted at the tips
Mellow dramatic
The bodies where they lay
The souls have flown
Though the wind has blown
We still struggle with the outcome
With what may come
And whatevers yet to come
Amidst it all
Your eyes shine brighter than the sea
Leads me along
The shores at bay
To where ever you are

Be the light
Be the night
And everything in between
Surge the waters
I'll bend the time
All to make it back to you

Cease the words that fill the room
With empty lies
if I should die, let me go
I only wish to be home

Be the ocean
Be the tide
Be the heart
Be the love that will reside

Be the waves
At crashing points
And be the anchor
Never let go

Underwater, still can breath
Mute but with a voice still in reach
Sinking and sinking
Closer to the message in the bottle
Written long, long, long ago

Take a step
Take a breath
In all the time the world resets

We'll be fine
We'll be fine
We'll be fine

seen the fire
didn't catch ablaze
already got inside of me a burning soul
seen the world, traveled the oceans
yet, somehow we find our ways back

In my hands I'll catch your tears
Softly make it all disappear

Just like a bottle
I'll catch the raining of your tears
Just like the ocean
Swallow away your fears

And in my heart
I'll take it all in close
Listen, do you hear what i hear?

The crashing of your waves
Engulfing my anchor
The spreading of your land
Turning mine to color

We'll be fine
We'll be fine
We'll be fine

In the lullaby
        Of your waves

P.S. this is something I wrote younger about what I thought love was and its rather cringey and makes my heart wanna hide it's face away.
