*poem

my heart is a vacant drive
won't you come find me here
drive down this empty road
with fallen tears
unmarked fears
windy storms
snowy trails
unspoken tales of a life born for greatness

And you take the road less traveled by
Following a maze of turns
A battered twist of discovery
You can't read the signs before you
But you travel on this road less traveled by
And that made all the difference

You find a disguise beyond these woods
A barren land filled with old fears
Raining down are my tears
You wonder what could cause so much pain
The wound of old lovers
The pain of these lies
Trapped you here in time.

Reach out, here I come
To a land far away
With a dream up the road
Fighting off the enemies of this one
You don't know why you're here
But you conquer her fears
You slay with one swift blow
And all of her old lovers lay below
Down in their graves to stay.

You pace up the path
A life uncertain discovered in this wrath
You hold on tight, never giving up
"This fight is one you'll never win"
But you ignore all that you hear
You have His strength near
Keep up, she's waiting.

One last test and here you are
Jump across, please don't fear
You look back one last time
"Is she really worth the fight?"
Shake off the feelings of inadequacy
Press on, you charge through the mess

You reach her door
You hold the key
It's for her heart
Swing wide the waves of emotions
That unmask your eyes
A vision of beauty
A sight to behold
She turns her head to face you
Wonder dances in her eyes
"You've come for me my hero,
I've been captive here for so long"
You take her hand and make her yours
"You are beautiful, inside and out,
This love was worth the fight."
