The Thorn and The Rose I don't know where I'm going, I only know where I want to be,
So tired of the empty words, from those who claimed to love me.
I accepted them unconditionally, I gave them my true love,
And one by one they left me bleeding, crying for mercy from above.
A fool I have always been, I don't know how not to be,
When I love it's completely, through rose colored glasses I see.
I'm always aware of the dangers and see the cliff's edge looming,
But I'll walk in blind faith, hoping real love could be blooming.
I listened to all their words, believing what they said,
As I layed with them each night, beside them in my bed.
I love you they'd always say, I would never hurt you in any way,
And they'd tell me they'd never leave me, and would always stay.
How easy the words travel from a lieing tongue to a naive ear,
And I continuously learn these same lessons, year after year.
I've always dreamed of being a husband, and of being a family man,
Of having children to love and a wife to be my best friend.
Some dreams never die even though they never do come true,
My heart lives on and survives all, even what they put it through.
It's ok if you lie to me and don't truly mean what you say,
At least for a moment I can love you, before you're on your way.
For all of my life I've had but one single prayer and need,
To be truly in love with someone who's truly in love with me.
No one knows how I am scarred because of my quest for my dreams,
Only a bitter man with issues, is all anyone can ever see.
I wasn't always this way, I once was as pure as the driven snow,
But my innocence was abused, and too much I've now seen and know.
But buried deep inside, beneath the fear and the shell of protection,
Still exists that purest love, in all it's completeness and perfection.
There are perhaps now many thorns, and some doors you may find closed,
But if you can't endure the thorns, you don't deserve to have the rose. |
