To Awake

I'm just a first class American lazy,
A lower-class sociopathic crazy,
Looking for nothing but something true,
Something to lead me back to you.

My heart is beating to your silhouette so picturesque,
Your heartbeats are acting as my GPS,
Guiding me to your horizon,
Where the sun is always risin'.

But there lies an ocean between,
A pool of purgatory binds our seam,
I won't let it keep us apart,
I'll swim it for years in hopes of a start.

I'll cross it at the speed of sound,
A plane flying homeward-bound,
This border I will break down and slaughter,
Just for you I'll walk on water.

I'll break through this wall of separation,
I'll sweat off the fear in perspiration,
And I'll be there in the morning waiting for you to wake,
Waiting for your gentle eyes to awake.

Waiting to tell you that I wouldn't let them keep us apart,
They can never keep us apart, they can never prevent this spark,
They can never stop this page of our beating hearts,
Because in their rhythm they'll always rediscover their start.

The start born the day they were completed.
Born when their sorrows were deleted.
Born in the words exchanged that found their way into view,
The utterance of the three words that resonate true.
The moment we synchronized those three simple words: I love you.
