There is a stranger in my home
looks familiar but is not known
I wake up and he is all I see
Why is he in the bed with me
I guess he wants to take me down
to see my smiles turn into frowns
turn my light into dark
have me not use my giving heart
In the shadows he waits to pounce
Progressing uncertainty ounce per ounce
He is a liar this I know
Tell me the truth before I go
Who is this stranger that I see
Why is he still in my home with me
Full moon rising
Like the freedom of a new dawn
When you spot it tonight
Breath in and breath out
Releasing all your worries and doubts
Like the moon, covered in imperfections, we too, may start a new
Blanketed within the darkness
Yet, surrounded by the stars illuminations, following its path
Guidance is always in sight
Catching a ride on the moonbeams
Seek and you shall find thunderous energy feeling so divine
Even the moon has its ups and down yet always seems to rise high in the sky
I thought
we were once
so close,
knit together
close enough
to know
what's it like,
to be ghost
to each other,
yet wandering
out into our
own colourful
way of life,
just that
we are
chasing
different
colours now.
colours change,
seasons change,
people change,
yet I
remain the same.
I wish I could make contact
I don't want this
Trying to stay strong
To not crack and reach for you
To stay true to what we said
To dig into my motives
Question my intentions
For reaching out
Simply I miss you
I hate no contact - it makes me want it all the more
I don't want it to be like this
Can you hear me
Can you feel me
What can I give
Not what can I get
What can I give
Live from soul
Not ego
Trust in love
Not fear
Boundaries not barriers baby
Protect but don’t shut out
You feel you have to close the door
But please don’t lock it
