Joanna Pavlides - devotion

Why are you so afraid
To sink in my eyes once more
You won’t find anything
But all you've been looking for
Yesterday and the day before

I am forbidden from sinking into yours
But my soul still speaks to your soul
As one both whisper the same warning
Each wall we build will be in vain
And will always and forever fall

Crushing down and causing us pain
Penance for separations
And ground for returns
After all the flame lit by life once
Will never again turn into ice

The acceptance seems to be the way
To walk on the path that only unveils
One day at a time and with every breath
Held for unknown but driven by emotion
You will come to see what’s in my eyes

Only devotion
