Could I?

He who speaks of sorrow and unbroken dreams

He who lights a darkened life filled with misery

He who makes a longing heart complete



Could I be the warmth of your desire

Could I be the spark that lights your fire

Could I be the dream you wake up from

Could I be the answer to your prayerful song?



He whose voice echoes through the sadness

He whose name is whispered in the wind

He who knows a heart trapped in suffering



Could I be your sea of mystery

Could I be the storm that never calms

Could I be the ragged breath of life

Could I be the pain you can't deny?



He who reads my mind, the pages of confusion

He whose warmth I take on coldest night

Tasting my tears, when the world is most cruel



Could I be the thunder in the clouds

Could I be the waves that wash over your shores

Could I be the cascading waterfall in which you hide

Could I be the sandy beach that would remember your footprints?



He who thrills my blood with passionate sighs

Whose love I breathe on days without end

He who knows my aching heart, my bleeding pen, my no name friend.



Could I be your unforgotten memory

Could I be the moon that shines with your favorite shade of silver

Could I be the song that fills your heart even with no lyrics at all

Could I be the ghost beside you during all your lifetimes on earth?
