Chapters Unread

Tonight in my bed

Her head on my chest

Nothing left unsaid

Could we be this blessed?

No chapter left unread

Joy and sorrow confessed

She’s bruised but not broken.

I’m tattered not torn.

Only love can be spoken.

Each breath whispers a pledge,

A promise in each sigh.

Arm in arm we walk this edge,

Avoiding the perils we spy.

Hand in hand leap from the ledge

Aside ‘til our last goodbye

She’s bruised but not broken.

I’m tattered not torn.

Only love can be spoken.

Did our stars finally align?

We may finally get our dance.

After a night of wine,

We rewrite our romance;

The past is far behind

Moving forward and not by chance

She’s bruised but not broken.

I’m tattered not torn.

Only love can be spoken.

She’s bruised but not broken.

I’m tattered not torn.

Only love can be spoken.
