DESTINY

"Every storm runs out of rain, just like every night turns to day." Gary Allan

I thought you were my destiny

But if you were, would it not have been?

What’s the point of a destiny if it has an end?

Our souls called out across a deep chasm

Against all odds two worlds collided

Reverberating with desire across an ethereal ravine

A connection we deeply perceived as fate

Our love sparked hope with each new day

The promise of eternity fueled our passion

A bright, new future played out before us

Sparking a fire that engulfed our days

Consumed our nights with blissful union

The echoes of intensity now ring hollow

A love without end, now a bond broken

The powerful legacy that once held promise

Forever displaced by your dishonor

This union was severed with each twist of the knife

Dismantling our tomorrows like a crime

Your evil obscured our beautiful destiny

Two heart beats extinguished for a lifetime

I dare to exist in this brave new world

Sometimes falling apart

Yet more often falling into place

No longer a matter of chance

Embracing all matters of choice

Fate whispers to the warrior

You can withstand this storm

And the warrior whispers back

I am the storm
