Your Love Is My Everything Means I Love You

Poem

This house is like a thousand dying embers
Caught in heaven's burning starlight glow
Those eyes are like a billion cold Decembers
Blue against a face as pale as snow

Your face is staying with me in dreams haunted
True, like infants waking up from sleep
Though I could never give you what you wanted
You swam with me in waters ever deep

But sickness swept in with the misty morning
Like oceans spilling over onto shores
Though you were taken from me without warning
I'm happy to have lasted through these wars

But battles tend to render people weary
These scars will last until the day I die
I've seen the end, and though it's bleak and dreary
I had you, who knew the truth in every lie​
