"Leah, Leah, Leah, my dear sweet Leah, how does your garden grow?"

My true love has my heart, and I have his. Together in marriage, together at heart. In good times and hard. In sickness and in health. For now and forever.

Fallen

Fallen like a wounded bird
Straight down from the sky
With a broken wing no one sees
Grounded by unseen forces

Shame filled tears cleanse the dirt covered face
as my secret pains stare back at me
shedding light on dark pasages of my mind
a place no one dares to wander

Regretful pain builds my core
Like energy, it keeps me thriving
Like heroine, it keeps me dying
I can't give it up, it's my only thing

Knocked down and beaten back
seen as guilty so they punish the victim
What is the cost to be free?
Blood and tears or more of my soul?
My fire burns despite the pain.

Complicated planning clouds better judgement
Details too small to ever see the castle through the stone
Standing here lost in a flower
the beautiful petals of fantastic dreams
A lovely illusion it would seem
A glorious adventure new to me

I fall asleep, anxious of my nightly travels
Sobs of worry have taken away my strength
and sent me on the bitter-sweet ride
of a clouded subconsious in a turbulent sky

Fallen like a wounded bird
Straight down from the sky
With a broken wing no one sees
Grounded by forces unseen

I woke up with such a fright
My heart beats with a frenzy of soldiers preparing for battle
I gasp, my lungs thirsty for air, burning from fear
All the dreams are broken, all the dreams are dead

I look to the heavens, I look to the skys
Is anyone out there? will anybody listen?
Grant me strength and give me a sign
I need some help to carry me through

Like a miracle, Fate has spun her web
and captured me a gift, a modern-day knight, it seems
I feel renewed, like sunlight hope spreads it's warmth on me
My heart is calmed by its presence
A fresh dream formed by faith and love.

No longer am I a fallen bird
I am again soaring the skieds
My wounds are healing as you can see
Like a flower, all I needed was love.
