I
Never Knew

*************************
Ever since
I can remember,
You have been there for me.
They say we were inseparable,
As close friends can be.
There only
was one secret,
That you ever kept from me.
I never knew you wanted more,
I was too blind to see.
Chorus:
For
all those years I knew you,
I never guessed a thing.
I didn’t know the happiness,
That our love could bring.
If
you had told me sooner,
I would have loved you back.
But you thought you couldn’t tell me,
And now your world’s
gone black.
The years went past yet we never changed,
We grew up hand in hand.
And thanks to you I can say that,
My
life was never bland.
So now your memory makes me weep,
Every time I see the stars
Because my ignorance doomed you,
To
love me from afar.
~Chorus~
And so you never told me,
Until the day you died.
But when I realized what
we’d lost,
All I could do was cry.
So now I beg forgiveness,
Because I couldn’t see.
That I meant
more to you than,
You ever meant to me.
~Chorus~
Darling
Angel

Pain
and horror,
Sin and lies,
All washed away
By your sweet eyes.
Yet all I ever say,
The plain and simple truth.
The
only thing I know,
That I’m in love with you.
Chorus:
Darling angel, gentle love.
Peace be yours to
grace thy day.
Charming, kind and cherished friend
From your side I ne’er will stray.
I promise I will reach
you.
It matters not how far.
And till you lie within my arms,
I’ll pray unto the stars.
So many times
I’ve told you
How much you mean to me
Time and time again I’ve said
Yet only now I see.
No matter
what I’ve told you
Or what I’ve felt before
However much I loved you once
It’s grown into much
more.
~Chorus~
I don’t know what I wouldn’t give,
To hold you close to me.
To go on loving
you is all,
That I will ever need.
And gladly would I give my life
To keep you safe from harm.
For when I look
into my heart
I see you in my arms.
~Chorus~
Darling angel, gentle love.
Peace be yours to grace thy day.
Charming,
kind and cherished friend
From your side I ne’er will stray

********************************
I’ve
known since the first time I saw you,
Just sleeping by the shore.
Twas there that I realized,
I would always be yours
All
it took was a single glance,
For you to steal my heart.
And all I wanted to say to you,
Was that I love you.
Aishiteru.
Chorus:
How
my heart aches,
How my love takes,
An eternity to die.
How my heart bleeds,
How my soul pleads,
Yet I can do
naught but cry.
Because I love you.
Aishiteru.
You said you’d always be my friend,
That you’d
be there for me.
You promised that we would be friends,
For all eternity.
Oh how I wish I could tell you,
But
you’d never understand.
The only thing you must never know,
Is that I love you.
Aishiteru.
~Chorus~
For
many years I should have told you,
But time has slipped away.
Oh how I wish we could have been,
Together one more
day.
And now I kneel over your grave,
Tears falling from my eyes.
And all that I can whisper,
Is that I love you.
Aishiteru.
~Chorus~

***********************************
The falling of a crimson tear.
A tear of sadness, of anger.
A release
of rage and despair,
A tear among a sea of blood.
Greed and deceit swirl and vanish,
Lies and truth become one.
At
the edge of the blade
Life’s thread dwindles,
Powerless against the rushing void.
Sadness and rage are gone.
All
becomes despair
And life ceases to be.
Horror, destruction, and death
Become one, become nothing.
Light vanishes,
hope is forgotten,
Darkness consumes all save the blade.
The one escape from turmoil,
From the horror of nothing.
Silence
echoes through darkness,
No sound but the fading pulse.
Through the nightmare, a river.
A river of tears, and of
truth.
Of blood and death, of escape.
And through that, perfection.
