If you ever came back to me I'd throw my arms around you I'd hold you and I'd kiss you Telling you how much I'd missed you If you ever came back to me I'd run my fingers through your hair Across your face and down your neck Like I've dreamed of doing since you left If you ever came back to me I would drink the beauty in your eyes The brightness of your soul Shining so brightly, never fading If you ever came back to me I don't think I would ever let you go My arms, my hands, my body Feel so empty without you there If you ever came back to me I would forgive you for all you did For all the hurt, the pain you caused When you left me all alone If you ever came back to me I would love you every second Hold you tightly, kiss you softly Until I woke from sleep

If you ever came back to me

If you ever came back to me I'd throw my arms around you I'd hold you and I'd kiss you Telling you how much I'd missed you If you ever came back to me I'd run my fingers through your hair Across your face and down your neck Like I've dreamed of doing since you left If you ever came back to me I would drink the beauty in your eyes The brightness of your soul Shining so brightly, never fading If you ever came back to me I don't think I would ever let you go My arms, my hands, my body Feel so empty without you there If you ever came back to me I would forgive you for all you did For all the hurt, the pain you caused When you left me all alone If you ever came back to me I would love you every second Hold you tightly, kiss you softly Until I woke from sleep

hope blossoms once again in a desert bereft for so long the ache of dust-filled emptiness is assuaged by healing rain a kiss from your lips showers me the light in your eyes brings life you tell me time and again that there can be a future for us I often struggle with what I lack incompetent to give what you deserve you ask nothing, yet wholly trust when I've given no reason at all it is exactly this trust which wakes me anew from a long-lived, lifeless slumber New growth springs forth as I strive to be the woman you behold in me we've seen pain and sorrow beyond compare yet we've known both bliss and peace through the long roads ahead I know there'll be more of beauty mingled with scars but, truly my love, so long as you're there I'll take each one in stride I may not always glow with happiness and hope but I will certainly give it my all because to hold you close and walk with you through all life's mysteries and labyrinths is all I've dreamed of, all I've wanted since dreams were mine to conjure I am with you today, yours tomorrow, and beside you as long as you'll have me though distance may separate my hand from yours my heart will always be yours

how do you let go of part of your soul? who you are and have been, forever… the need, the want, the hope, the sorrow all rolled into one persistent action. surging into burning buildings to save the lost, only ever has two outcomes: either, by God’s grace, we’re both saved or we’re destroyed in a fiery inferno. what purpose have i, if not to save those whose torment i know, oh so well? how can i see those i love suffer so without doing what i can to save them? can i turn up my nose to a brother in need? am i really so conceited to think that my life is worth more than risking to save those caught in their own sin and despair? i am less than myself if i could ever do so, yet, i am not whole even now… God, I cry out to you, throughout the day and also the long, lonely nights I beg you to fill me with love and grace to ease the sorrow of my heart. Is this some test I must endure until I have breathed my last? Will it ever end? Oh, God, please tell me that I will not wander forever in the dark! I will learn and grow, I will change and bend, Till my will is naught but Yours. On this night, cold and still, Sorrow has become a friend.

Shattered in pieces all across the floor A battered soul hurt one time too much. A silky black mire of hopelessness Slinks in softly, as fog in the night. Lurking in shadows, approaching swiftly The first touch is gentle, caressing even Collecting each gleaming shard. Then when terror seizes hold, it strikes Consuming like the fires of hell. The crystals of soul, once filled with light Are absorbed in viscous despair. As the mass surges onward, roil by roil What remains of the spirit slowly dissolves Until smooth as melted glass. Slithering onward it seeks out the lost To bring them their final end.

Can I express all you mean to me? That your pure, simple devotion Is all that’s left holding me in this world? How can mere words describe How intrinsically I need you? Yet we've been here before. We know that it will never work. But I can’t let you go; I can’t move on. How long can we remain in limbo Between what we need and what is best? Surely we will fall, sooner or later. We’ll either fall together or fall apart. And either would mean the end of me…

In Limbo

Can I express all you mean to me? That your pure, simple devotion Is all that’s left holding me in this world? How can mere words describe How intrinsically I need you? Yet we've been here before. We know that it will never work. But I can’t let you go; I can’t move on. How long can we remain in limbo Between what we need and what is best? Surely we will fall, sooner or later. We’ll either fall together or fall apart. And either would mean the end of me…

What do you do on the nights when you’re alone? When glacial emptiness suffocates? Where do you turn when no one is left, To temporarily assuage the chill? Do you call out to a God high above? Enthroned on a jeweled throne of gold? Do you plead at the knees of a Ruler so distant, That your pleas can barely be heard? Where do you go when the familiar only reminds Of a jaded past, of pleasurable crime? The memories crowd in till the present is gone, And you’re lost in a swirl of both shame and bliss. Do you curse the One you knew long ago, At Whom, with child-like wonder you stared? For abandoning you in this time of need, Or for never really being there? Why do you search for the answer to all In a bottle, a lover, pain or a pill? When you know that it will never be found, In something so shallow, so human? Yet neither does that answer so deep Lie with a King far away. It lies with a man who died to save And lives within us today. Look deep inside and whisper His Name Soon you will discover what’s there, That He is with you, He walks beside you Every step of the way. He is the friend we all long to have Yet rarely acknowledge is there But His love is so deep, so strong, so true That He will never abandon you. Turn not to cheap decadences, For they surely shall fade. Turn to the God of love and of light Who will save if you call on His Name.

What do you do on the nights when you’re alone? When glacial emptiness suffocates? Where do you turn when no one is left, To temporarily assuage the chill? Do you call out to a God high above? Enthroned on a jeweled throne of gold? Do you plead at the knees of a Ruler so distant, That your pleas can barely be heard? Where do you go when the familiar only reminds Of a jaded past, of pleasurable crime? The memories crowd in till the present is gone, And you’re lost in a swirl of both shame and bliss.

heart breaks again and again mustn't give in to the urge to fall into the darkness calling my name urging me to turn inward to drown in sorrowful self-pitying depression

I want a fairytale love A knight in shining armor Riding a majestic white steed Noble and handsome Strong and true One others look up to And model themselves to A man of courage Willing to stand for what’s right Who will fight for what he loves And never give up I want a fairytale love I want a love worth dying for Something so strong and so sure That death would be preferred To reaching its end I want a love worth dying for I want someone to love me To love me for who I really am To devote to me his life and his means Every second of the day Every thought in his head I want to be the center of his universe To bring light to his world I want him to be willing To lay down his life Without question or doubt Because, to him, I am worth it I want someone to love me I want so much more Than a fairytale love I want someone who’ll be there Through the good and the bad Who will kiss me fiercely when angry Softly, when sad Passionately, when in love Who will hold me tightly No matter what Who will always follow me When I run Who will love me Always I want so much more Than a fairytale love

I long for the warmth of your touch in the cool of the night, The whisper of your voice in darkness so silent, The sweetness of your kiss in a tasteless oblivion, The rationality of your thoughts in a whirling insanity, Your childlike play in a world of solemnity, The safety of your arms in a wind tossed sea, The purity of your faith in a lost humanity, I long for nothing but you, my love.
