I will bleed for you

Shift ends for
Stars and fear.
New sun will
Soon be here.

Tingling toes,
Numb fingers.
Four A.M.
Chill lingers.

Night monsters,
Drenched in light
Start to fade
Lose their might.

Clean slate skies
Solid blue.
I think of you.

As you walk through
All the barbed wire
Of the day
Look away, love
And I will bleed
for you.

And if your eyes
Become jaded,
Lose their spark,
I'll re-kindle
Them with my own
Fi-re.

Shift ends for
Daydreams dear.
Moon's solace
Nearly here.

Treasured songs
Wash away
The tarnish
Of the day.

Cascading
Memories fight,
Keeping me
From the night.

Warm pictures
To cling to
I think of you.

As you walk through
All the barbed wire
Of the day
Look away, love
And I will bleed
for you.

And if your eyes
Become jaded,
Lose their spark,
I'll re-kindle
Them with my
Un-fading fire.

Through every year
Through every tear
Just know this:
I'll be gentle and strong
Let me come along
I will bleed for you.

Shift ends for
Stars and fear
And I pray
Hope's sunrise
Will brighten
Every day.

As you walk through
All the barbed wire
I'll be there too.
Close your eyes or
Look away, love
And I will bleed
Bleed for you.
