i used to hide my feelings
because
i didn't want others to know
the pain and sorrow
that's carved into my skin.
though as time went by
it became too much
to simply cover up
and i began
to let it show through.
then i realized
no one notices anyway
for the only reason that
they're in their own little world
surrounded
by their ideals and desires
and too busy to look beyond
the circumference
of their life.

silhouettes and shadows
were ever over me
until your voice spoke into
and through the dark.
now strength and courage
flow from your breath
and into my lungs
to help me walk
this walk of life
and into the arms
of my beloved.
though my body aches
my heart is free
from the sorrow and grief
i’ve carried
once before.
and now I rejoice
for the love you give
is given harmoniously
and the world has been
and forever will be
overcome.

I've heard artists always create more when they're in mourning.
I understand that now.

Some weekends
I just want to stay here
and not drive hours to see you.
But it’s not because
I don’t want to be with you.
Truly, I do.
It’s just that
I don’t want to feel
that heavy familiar feeling
of missing you
when I leave.

watching you sleep
could possibly be
the most peaceful thing
that i've ever seen.

If we had
1,000 years
to live together,
it still
wouldn't
be
enough.

I'm afraid
of everything
I didn't care about
when I contemplated
suicide.

So many people
And so many stories
All hidden
Under scarred hearts and paper skin
Afraid to open up again
Locked away beneath the surface
Searching desperately for a purpose

If I admitted I hate myself
for all the things against you
I had said and done-
would I feel better then?
If I found a way to show
the weight of sorrow I carry
for all the pain I’ve caused you-
would I feel better then?
If I truly understood
the depth and reason
of love, forgiveness, and mercy-
would I feel better then?

it's your presence
that keeps me grounded
it's your boundless love
that keeps me hopeful
and it's your relentlessness
that keeps me alive.
you are the biggest part
of my recovery.
