Lake of lost life

By beamish

If my heart had hands I would hold you there 
Covered in a blanket of my love 

Protected from the ugly the world hurls on a daily bases 

Never again letting any pain  touch your face
Sacrificing my mortal soul in the pursuit of your happiness

You my angel are why
Why I live
Why I cry
Why I am willing to die

But even then I will hold you tight as I burn in a lake of lost life

A small penance to pay for the  love I will never throw away 
The love worth laughing at Hell's pain to keep you in my heart for just another day

    Big, bold words here. It's like a lyrical mission statement, and it gets the point across. Well done.

    Never thought of it as a mission statement. But it's a good one to have. Thank you
