A bottomless pit full of tortured thoughts;
Loathsome doubts and fears that pierce the heart
And blind the eye with scalding tears,
And Heaven is what?
I do not know unless it is a moment free from all but love.
To feel an arm, companionlike, around your shoulders,
To see a quick smile meant only for you.
To know love, pure and sweet and true.
To know that I am meant for you.
Can we find Heaven?
Or are we meant to stay lost in a life of hell?
Help me love to find the way
To walk in the sunlight once more and say
'Our time is here. Our love will stay'.
