Ever So Gently
By: Star (Esther)
Ever so gently you came
brushed my heart
and relit the dying flame
so broken
and beautiful
the words you spoke
ever so gently you came.
Ever so gently you came
brushed in magic
and written in light
a broken soul
so quietly beautiful
written in ink
spoken without a blink.
Ever so gently you came
brushed my tears away
and wrote me a song to play
loving me to my dying days
a heart of gold
made so pure of light
ever so gently you came.
A Lifetime With You
By: Star (Esther)
If I could live a 100 lifetimes,
but in every life you weren’t there,
I would choose the life
where you and I live happily ever after,
because what is life if you aren’t in it.
A life where air no longer fills my lungs
and my heart no longer has a beat
to the melody of my life.
A lifetime without you is just the same
as an eternity without you.
My life wouldn’t be whole if you weren’t it in,
it would be like the chocolate chip cookies without the chips,
the bread without the flower,
and the night without the moon.
What would any of these things be without the other,
kind of like what would I be without you.
You are the light of my life,
the anchor to my boat,
and the love of my life.
A lifetime without you would mean nothing to me,
because you are the beat to my heart,
the reason I’m breathing.
