California grown from country roots, thriving in life and innocence that was more fleeting than sleep in the morning, i now survive through the letters i etch into this world.
and He drew her up in His mind like a wild fascination that was yet to happen. a soul with a purpose so big it would shake mountains if she chose Him. and He saw every winding detour, every tear filled starry night, every beautiful heartbreak. silently holding her hand amidst the tides. He dreamed of helping her through this labyrinth of a life. hand in hand, step in step. she would be His, and that's all He ever wanted. so He molded every piece of her hurricane heart. and carefully sewed together her love for the torn. and He built her up so she could be a safe place for the wanderers. and breathed out every whirlwind of passion within her. all in hopes of her becoming what He hoped she would. and she was.

h.m.g
why always in this place? where "goodnights" have ceased to exist by the mere assumption that we are too old, or that muttering it would mean we meant it, and that would be to real in these walls. walls that hold an unspoken agreement to never be in depth, never to hold a real conversation in it's midst. a place where there are walls, that have turned into kingdoms of secrecy. all consumed by a lie, a narcotic idea that this place is just for surviving. that is place is a house, not a home.

sitting in bed, thinking about life, nothing to do but s i t with a knife, till my b l o o d drains o u t, like the draining of a sink, and it will soon r u n clear, and I will very too soon s i n k, sink into the ground where I once arose, now I'll lie d o w n forever inclosed, with my secrets trapped with me inside, forever until I eternally a b i d e .

it stains the very inner of her being crimson. crimson with the guilt and shame and the unbearable weight of loving without limits, to the point of a threadbare soul worn with the constant weight of giving.

crimson
And in the midst of my pain, in the midst of my struggles, you were constant. When the world was spinning so fast I couldn't keep up, when the burdens were burying me alive, I could look to you and you were still. You calmed the turmoil, you stilled the seas. You were the tree in the hurricane that never got uprooted. You were the hand that pulled my up from the pit of sinking and of life. You are the hand that holds mine and keeps me from falling when I slip.

constant Stronghold
i'm lost and everyone around me seems like a stranger in disguise. the ones i love are here, but not here, and i'm more alone than the ever darkening pit of black that i thought i came out of..
