Open your Eyes

Showed you the truth
but you just shut your eyes
I guess you'll never see
through his well made disguise

I've been the one by your side
through thick and through thin
yet you turned your back on me
and let the devil waltz in

So you deceived me
you left me here alone
with a broken promise, a broken heart
i must walk through this world on my own

will you ever see
the errors that you've made
will you ever know
the good that would follow if you'd stayed

Will i ever forgive you
leaving me shattered on the floor
will i ever forget
not a chance anymore

I'll never be there again
to hold your hand
to wipe the tears from your eyes
you've made your final stand

you turned from light to dark
you changed from all to nothing
you took my love, my good advice
and through it all away for nothing

as the days tick by, you'll find
a new world to fit into
false friends, false life
something to look forward to

there's no turning back
no unwriting wrongs
apologies can not fix
four months of scars and sobs

you ask me to believe
in this false idol you've found
ask me to join you
without a protesting sound

to put aside the fact
he is evil in and out
to join with you against the tide
to simply shut my mouth

I will keep on fighting
though I am fighting for you
I will keep on trying
praying God will see it through

but even if you change
and see the monster inside
I don't know if it fixes anything
you've wasted so much time

but fight is all i can do
seek to show truth and justice
for though you've turned your back on me
I simply can't return the favor

Wedding Vows

Everything that makes me who I am
was yours before this moment
it shall be yours always

You are my soul mate
my best friend
my ally against the world
my moment outside of time.
you are my fondest memory
my fiercest desire
my strongest wish

It is because of you
I laugh
I smile
I dream

I will love you
respect you
and be honest with you
always

When life is easy
or when it is a struggle
when our love is simple
and when it is an effort
I will live with you
and laugh with you.

From this day forward,
you will never walk alone.

I will rejoice in your delights
and fight your battles by your side

I will support what you strive to accomplish
and encourage you intellectually, emotionally and spiritually
I will try to see the world as you see it
or at the very least, respect your unique perspective

I will be the shoulder on which you lean
the rock on which you rest
the joy of your heart

I will comfort your body with mine
mirror your soul with my own
and share with you all that I have and will have

I promise not only to give these things
but to receive them from you as well
to speak and to listen
to be both friend, and lover

You have my body
my mind
my heart
my soul

Everything that makes me who I am
was yours before this moment
it shall be yours always

I offer this ring to you
as a symbol
of my faith
my love
And of the vows I have just spoken

As this ring has no end
neither does my love for you.
