I chose to live with you instead of haunting my old house, I left my kitties and my spouse, because your walls made me feel free. Searching for something true though I appreciate the false, I know my fate and when she calls, I'll stand on air beneath the tree. Hardly aware, just being there, losing sense for something greater than a love affair. Blind eyes see beautiful things in an ugly world, full of diamond rings, where the spirits wail and the monster sings, you amaze me. You amaze me, that's what you do. You were alone, a skimming stone tossed out into the water as my stitches were sewn. Deaf ears hear a peaceful sound when there is dissonance and our cold hands are bound, where we wander quiet with no footing found, you amaze me. You amaze me, that's what you do.
