Don't Push Love Away

The clock hands whisper, the night rolls slow, A lonesome wind taps the window's glow. I sit by the fire, but it don’t feel warm, The thought of you’s a quiet storm. Don’t push love away, don’t let it go, It’s the only light this heart will know. I’ll stay awake, fight the dark’s sway, To keep the chance of love another day. The stars are scattered like promises broke, Each one a word we once softly spoke. I’d rather face the dawn’s cruel sting Than dream a world where you’re not my everything. If I close my eyes, you might slip through, A shadow lost in the morning dew. Don’t push love away, don’t let it go, It’s the only light this heart will know. I’ll stay awake, fight the dark’s sway, To keep the chance of love another day. The silence grows heavy, but I won’t cave, For love’s a treasure I’ll always save. The risk of losing cuts sharp and deep, So I’ll trade my rest for the love I keep.
