By Your Side

You say my hands are untied
And that it's you that I've denied
I have closed my eyes
I have abandoned your side

I am the one scarred
I am the one who caught your star
Shining from a distance
Because of me the world knows who you are

I am the one that gave expression to your face
I am the one who pulled you out of your forsaken place

A dead flower lay dwelling in an empty bed
It was me who brought you back to life, you blossomed
So you said

You were an incomplete chapter unable to be named
Until I came and laid down the words
And so a novel you became

When you were testing the waters
And couldn't even swim
I carried you through the deep
On my back rested all of your whim

It was all of my strength that you were able to rise
The nerve with all of your pride
King in your eyes
Never acknowledging the Queen by your side

In time a star does fall
And in time a flower will die
In time a novel does end
And in time the waters run dry
It is then when you remember my love
As you glance at your right side
