One Behind and Years to Come

I can't find words to explain how I feel about you.
It's like something that wasn't supposed to happen
Did, in the very best way.
It's like something magical in your voice
Touched me and gave me life.

And now I'm grasping for the words,
But really nothing says it like
I love you.

I love your laugh
And your smile.
I love your mind
I love the way you look when you drive at night.
I love you near
And I love you far.

And even when our plans don't work out,
They find a way of working better than we planned.
And even when we feel hopeless
We remember where we stand.

And when I forget why I'm living this life, I remember
It's for moments like these.

It's for your eyes and all they see.
It's for the adventure between point A and B.

It's for the moments that we have,
No matter how few or far between.

Breaking Boundaries

Though I have not found
A single strand
To hell I am bound.
Destined to chase the soulless,
Grasping to their tails,
I head down a path,
Reaped by only trolls.
To saunter down a path,
Still virgin to new souls,
And dance upon a memory-
Fleeting as it unfolds.

Down a path not made for skipping,
Along a river not made for stones.
Red walls covered high
In naked bars and bones.

And behind a web is spun
To entangle all but one.
Each strand takes another captive,
Forever things are trapped in
The sickly wall of souls.

If a soul were to escape
The spider loses sleep.
The web of souls is much too weak-
The captor stays awake.

And though no dawn will ever break,
The morning brings a weary eye.
The spider made a huge mistake;
The walls are now alive.
