The essence of You

Searching for signs my heart is still beating
Trying to staunch the flows of it's bleeding
Lifting my eyes and lowering my head
On the crooked path my dusty feet must tread
My fingers are clutching these pieces of glass
Stubbornly refusing to let the misery pass
Throwing myself into the fury of the storm
As the waves of bitterness slowly take form

I pause for a moment to ponder my fate
Struggling to think in my ignorant state
Is this what I want, to shatter my dreams?
To unravel my life and tear at the seams?
I know I want more, more than all this
There's a plan for my life I don't want to miss
How can rise I rise above the merciless waves
How can I be free from this inevitable grave?

I want the essence of You to be the essence of me
The path that I walk, the air that I breathe
The song on my lips, the dance of my feet
The laughter of my soul, and my every heartbeat
I want pictures of me to be relfections of You
In everything I say and in all that do
Let there be only one thing that I desperately seek
That the essence of You, be the essence of me
