My Life Before Yours

Your voice makes me cry
And that look in your eye

Like the sorrows of Avalon

Emerging from ancient lore

You sing like the raindrops can hear you

Like midday clouds glowing a purple hue

The thundering deep in your soul

Sends shock waves to quiver my core

Like the dark little fae of the green wood

Growing wild and wise

The sparkle of understanding dances

Like firelight in your dark lit eyes

You stood there so far away just waiting

Watching me fall and rise

You stood there, my heart in the making, 

Watching me fall for all of their lies

It's as if you were well hidden

Beyond Avalon's misty haze

Watching the madness of my nights

And the agony of all my days

Now that the way is clear

The fog lifted by your gentle hand

I see you, my fae lord, in all of your glory

And here by your side I will always stand

I will not be perfect, I will hurt you

And likely cause you to cry

My sharp tongue is known to strike

But it has never been known to lie

I will put on all of my armor

pick up my weapons and gather my will

Or even lay down my very life

If it will keep your nervous hand still

I will battle any man or beast that threatens

I will defeat demons, gods and titans

For you I will fight with both magic and knife

If it means your heavy heart lightens

No harm will look your way, my love

Not with me standing guard

I will bring down the heavens to protect you

My Lord, my love, my bard
