Writings & Rhymes (A collection by Brad Skaggs)

Whose eyes could this heart fade into?
None, but yours will ever do.
If I could find a reason for you not to go,
It would be this emptiness my life now knows.
Misery is a grave I'm buried in;
And shame for not giving, I carry within.
My mistakes are burdens waiting to be set free,
When another chance is given from you to me.
I will never be able to promise you the sun;
Yet, in all I do I'll be the one,
Who will lift the worries from your mind away,
And whose faith in you will always stay.
I want to be your comfort if troubles become tears,
And I want to take your hand when you walk through fears.
I'd sail the world over to see that smile,
The one that makes living this life worthwhile.
But for now I'll have to live alone, without you;
Without the one I am willing to give my all to.
If the two of us don't seem to find another day,
Always remember what this heart of mine did say...
Whose eyes could this heart fade into?
None, but yours will ever do...
