On My Own

Blood running cold but I feel so warm,
Eyes so tired but I can't sleep,
Heart unmoved, spirit unbound,
Shoulders carry mountains yet it feels like air,
I hesitate to blink because you are lying right there,
I'm found, not lost flailing in the darkness,
Instead a chapter has started and I'm so alive.
My mind is thinking so clear, my ears don't hear my fear
I'm standing like a boulder on the shore, so determined,
My mind and heart have made up themselves and I'm not backing down.
People point and laugh but their just taunting a lion, this cage won't hold me,
Tonight my demons are drowning in the lake, tonight I'm on my own,
But I'm in the zone.
This ends tonight.
I've got friends and I've got enemies,
And then I got you.
But you support me more than most,
You welcome me with kisses and hugs,
Your vivid eyes capture my heart every time,
And now I fight for love, and I'm not on my own.
We are on the battlefield together but we both feel the need,
We both need this like the air in our lungs.
So we are taking a leap of faith despite what lies in the wake of life,
But I don't have to face it alone, your hands are holding mine and the weight is lifted.
