Take my hand, my beautiful sinner.
I shall sit with you in winter.
When your heart grows cold
And your world grows dark,
I shall stay with you,
Until we reignite that spark.
I’ll hold your hand as you lay in silence,
Lay beside you in this chilling stillness.
Let the ice cover my body
So you can rest easy.
You’ll never be alone, my beautiful sinner.
Hold me till the grass is greener.
Cry upon my shoulder
Until the hurt is over.
Spill your heart out,
Scream and shout,
Or just speak in quiet whispers.
Kiss me until your pain is gone,
Until all that’s right doesn’t feel wrong.
Cling to me, love, give me your all.
I promise to be there to catch you when you fall.
Call to me, my beautiful sinner.
When it seems things couldn’t get any bleaker.
I’ll warm your heart,
Make you smile,
Make you see you are worth while.
Trust in me, hold me tight,
Hold me all through the night.
Let the snow and the sleet and the rain fall down.
With me, I promise, you’ll never drown
Within those sorrows that plague your heart.
Together, from this icy hell, we’ll depart.
Oh, my beautiful sinner,
My love for you will never wither.
Keep me near,
Hold me dear
Within your heart.
I’ll be right here.
Come to me, my beautiful sinner,
And together we’ll weather
This lonely winter.
I know you not, and yet you haunt me.
Your image forever plagues my mind.
You’re with me, yet against me.
You’re better, and yet worse.
No matter what I try, I’m not as good as you,
But at least I try. What do you do?
I curse your name, I yell in vein.
I try to gain the affection I deserve,
Yet you always seem to steal it away.
I try so hard be everything you are,
And yet you’re nothing to me.
I hold all the power, and yet
I’m powerless in your shadow.
I have all the will, while you have none.
I have the strength, but you show none.
I give my heart, you keep yours hidden.
And yet you’ll always remain the only one
That can make a difference.
I love what you can do, but I hate that you can do it.
You’re my enemy and I hate you,
But I envy you all the same.
I look in the mirror, and, at times, hate my reflection.
Why can’t I be like you?
Why would I want to be?
I hate you.
I hate everything you are
Because you’re everything I’m not.
Because you can do everything I can’t.
Because you matter, and I don’t.
You are the sun, you are the moon,
And I’m just the insignificant dust.
You are the earth, the clouds and the sky,
And I’m the little bird that cannot fly.
You are a woman, and I am a child.
You are the tame one, while I am the wild.
You’re the shelter in the storm,
Yet you offer no shelter and bring the storm.
You cause the frigid loneliness, time and time again
Which my warmth and comfort
Is never strong enough to mend.
You’re the only fire, you’re the only heat
That can melt away the impossible strain.
But you’re never here, never near,
And all my efforts to take your place
Will always and forever result in vein.
You’re frustrating, yet you do nothing.
So why should I hate you so?
You only hold the key
To the one thing that I love.
It’s just you who can save the world
When I can’t even save the day.
It’s you who can save this life
Although you do not try, although you do not pray,
Whilst I give everything I have
Only to be cast away.
You’re the fire and the ice,
You’re the sunshine and the rain.
You’re Heaven and you’re Hell.
And all I am is me…
No matter what I do,
No matter how much I give,
I’ll never be like you,
My respected enemy…
