(I HAVING KNOWN YOU)
THE SOUND...

I hope you didn't think I forgot you across all this time.
I once fresh and young now battle scarred and bruised yet still alive.
You a beautiful thought crossing my mind when I alone waged war.
A moment of peace when all fell to pieces.
A flash of skin and a remembered scent that soothed the pain.
Color so vivid yet fading as my tears washed down my cheeks.
I holding you in the deepness of night in a jail cell.
A wet dream that saturated the sheets.
Your voice whispering into my ear.
I waking to find you unreal.
I holding onto you upon waking, begging you to stay.
Shield me from this reality.
How could I forget thee?
You have saved me from insanity and depravity...
From the pits of utter despair where so many go to rot.
They having given up on life.
I Dragon rising from my own ashes.
You the fuel that fanned my blazing fire.
Dancing in the flickering light that showed me the path.
How could I forget you?
Why would I want to?
You have given me life.
