Ain't No Way

In the quiet whispers of a twilight dream

Where shadows dance and moonbeams gleam

My heart, a broken vessel, yearns to sail

Towards a love, so bold, where others pale

Ain't no way to mend these fractured parts

If you, my love, won't trust me with your heart

A love that's true demands we both concede

To give our all, to plant that sacred seed

Yet, here I stand, a soul once torn and tattered

By love's cruel jest, by dreams now shattered

But in your gaze, a glimmer I discern

Of love reborn, for which I deeply yearn

It ain't no way to bridge this vast divide

If in your fortress, you choose to hide

Let down these walls, let me inside

Together, in love, let's take this stride

For in your arms, I find a sweet home

A chance to love, a chance to breathe

So, let me in, let's not our hearts deceive

In love's warm embrace, let's both believe

In whispers soft, beneath the starry sky

Let's vow to love, let's dare to fly

For in this dance, under the Pisces moon

Together, our broken souls will grow
