Your Love Sings in D Minor

I don’t think I fell in love

But slowly embraced it.

I peered around corners

With anxious eyes

And a troubled heart.

I danced along the edge

Of hope and death

Resigned but free

And somehow pleading

For someone to truly see.

I reached for what

I thought was love

A counterfeit heart

In a hollow chest

I failed to reach....

Suddenly I saw blue

Sparkling, undulating cerulean

In the key of D major

And I knew

Something had changed.

I heard the sweet call

Of your beckoning D major

Drowning out the clamour

Of my hopeless A minor

I stretched out my hand...

And grasped the thin strands

Of silky silver thread

That ran from your heart

To save me from the dead

Caressing my outstretched fingers.
