I Didn't Want to be Your Reason

I came here with pure intention

but you made me feel like a hunter in the snow...

I gave you all my love

but couldn't slip it between the net of your scars...

I tried to help you with your demons

but you chose to fight alone...

I offered a shoulder for rest and comfort

but you chose the moon and stars...

You said you'd never lie

but you never tell the truth...

You offered me a place in your heart

but it's feeding the fires of the chaos...

You tried to cast a shadow

taint everything on earth...

You said I was the reason

for you to leave your past...

I didn't want to be your reason...

I think I should've slip away into the night..

Your love for me didn’t disappear,

it never really existed, it was just the light...

Concept realized shortly after my wedding in 1997. It sat dormant for years. I just found it and finished it. A little on the dark side, but that was many years ago...
