You Lift Me Up
By: JoAnna Martin

All through my life I've been falling down,
searching to find but I'm lost and not found.
There is a cold emptiness within my hearts core.
I don't want to be without love anymore.
I don't know how much more I can take
before my hope wears thin and my spirit breaks.
But when tears escape my eyes and the smile leaves my face
You lift me up  and take me away to a magical a place.
A beloved place that exists only in our minds,
a place in  our hearts that I hope reality will find.
Until I came across you I felt so alone.
I was lost and confused. I'd forgotten all I've known.
But you have a charm to turn sadness around
and a voice with the most enchanting sound.
You make me forget all the bad things that are,
you send my sadness, my pain, and my loneliness afar.
Tonight I wish that you were here
and that your loving touch was near.
Even though there's a part of you always here with me-
a sacred love making me go one happily-
there's a wall between us that we can't yet override
so we continue apart while our feelings-they hide.
I hold you close to my heart, so close and so tight
that I don't ever want to let you go, we feel too right.
I try to create tomorrow by what I dream today
but is this all an illusion that one day will fade?
