Alone in the Basement

Day to day I sit below 

watching sun to shade,

for when night comes too quick 

every step's a blade.

Every breath I take for you

when on stricken knees

dreaming up your face 

to rescue me from peace.

Sitting in my chair,

picturing up your place

guiding me from sundown

my breath for you I wait.

I cannot let go

removing hand from rail,

tripping down the staircase

our love won't die down there.

I picture you walking through

everyday I sit,

to take me from this shallow world 

and everything within.

If "Home is where the heart is."

then this I know is true,

"For my home, my heart, and my eyes

will always be in you."

My love is not a phase-

me, you can forever trust,

in the basement I wait alone

hoping for our love.

Day to day I sit below

watching sun to shade,

in this basement I wait alone

believing for our fate.
