Not enough love in the light.

Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)



It wasn't enough to feel the love
Within magnificent light above
And so I returned to fulfill you
To share in everything that you might do
Bless sentiment of rarest flower
But over me it had no power
For you're my love my waking hour.

Your flaws and weaknesses filled me with dread
When all around you their sweet love did shed
Your chaos hid changes within your heart
Changes that moved us so fast they passed like darts
And so my defenses I dropped for you
To give you my calm and to see you through
