Taken By You to the Sea of the Universe

"Taken By You"

months are counted, days are numbered
all these words have part of you
every space of hope is taken
every part is filled with you
not a second goes by wasted
every breath contains a thought of you
if I could regain the lost time
it'd return fine, but full of you
moments gathered, memories treasured
all these times spent with you
every smile is somewhere counted
by the memories held of you
and not an ounce of me is untouched
for it's all because of you
and everything is where I'll hope to be
when I'm standing next to you
I'll keep this going strong
every space of hope is taken by you

"Sea of the Universe"

he tries to spread the doubt
and pull the heart strings
cause the hating, the anger, the hurt
and all the remorse
he tries to wear me thin
and pushes and pulls
and breaks in; from anger, hurt
and worse
if I could push him away forever
I'd toss him into the sea of the universe
he'd never try to change my thoughts of you
or what I know is true
I know it's true
he is trying now, trying now
spreading the doubt around
he is hoping now, he is hoping now
he'll wear me down
and I'll not stick around
but no, no, no I will break free
I will be free from all this doubt and worse
there'll be no anger, hurt or remorse
I am not regretting you
I am not forgetting you
he is trying now, trying now, trying now
spreading dread and fear around
he wants to bring me down
pull me down
wear me out until I'm breaking down
but I wish I could make him go away
toss him into the sea of the universe
I won't let him change my thoughts of you
or what I know is true
I know it's true
I'm not regretting you, nor forgetting you
never letting go of you
he won't bring me down
or wear me out
anymore

You Are So Amazing You Could Wear The Universe

"Nothing Quite Like You"

music is nothing compared to your voice
but your voice is nothing like music
and silence is nothing compared to your breathing
but your breathing is something quite loud
the smell of your skin is like nothing on earth
but earth never knew how to smell
and mirrors may capture your presence in still time
but they never could quite reflect who you are

"Wear the Universe"

I think if the universe were a cloak to be worn, it would rest upon your shoulders
it would wrap you in the essence of all that is magnificent and marvelous
it would encompass you in power
knowledge, and strength
I think if the world could envelope you with pure liquid life
it would wrap you inside of the static at night
it would mold from the stars the reason for your being
and paint across your eyes in the darkest of black
the moments that would pass by you would never cease to amaze
and time would be your playground, your passion, your craze
oh, if only I could enrapture you like the mountains near your feet!
The magnitude you move about in is an earthquake never contained
I think truly, if the universe were a cloak to be worn you would wear it well
like a king in a robe of strength you would be a marvel in the essence of the night
and from your eyes would reflect all the beauty
captured in the heartbeats between time
