I watch things from across the bedroom, the way you move like the setting sun as its setting, underneath me. maybe one day I will be free. The ghosts they move in distant lines This is patience, grace, and self control this is where I'm meant to be. You've got your scars they've got their demons your grace is grounding presence blessing me is this where were supposed to be? I felt the devil, he haunted my brain But this faith is flowering through my veins maybe today I am free.

Grounding.
In that moment, I felt the god **** sky fall on my head. I felt small. So humbled. the patience the grace echoing in my brain, a cleansing refurbishment of things unseen, hauntingly obscene a belief that there is saving for my soul, wretched me. forgive me for the things ive done forgive me for the things ive said for I let my demons take control of my head. this part of me, i don't ask for returned.

If by swimming you mean sinking. Then yeah, I swim really good.

I suppose some sort of structure should be born from this chaos. a lesson learned, a lesson lost. sitting on the floor, rearranging worthless things. counting backwards from ten learning again, wasted time will never be returned i've learned disbelief in receiving what ive given. Yet still I give. I've got a hole inside my brain, its an absence I have created A spot i've saved for passion, and savoring every waking day. yet still I wait. still I wait. I wait. wait. nothing.

The snow is coming.
I guess somewhere along the line i lost track of time somewhere between emptiness and your smile lines. Cited for years of disbelief and grief a ghost echoed ever softly Maybe there is hope for a soul, Wretched me. And ive been searching for the bridge i burned to get back home But i lost my way somewhere between hell and here.

losing track.
Every cigarette I smoke I choke it down like it is your name but the only two things that remain the same Is you're both an addiction I cant seem to shake When I think about these ghosts I hope its you that haunts my home At least then id be at peace knowing I wasn't dying alone.

Given.
Sleepless nights with imagery painted so blandly wandering A constant feeling of loss or losing Thoughts on progress and prayer I'm self destructing Forged from fires stumbling Embers whisk away into nothing Now I ask this "God" am I even worth your saving The silence, it is crushing Flowing endlessly underneath Born into a life lost to misery Wandering Thoughts on progress, prayer, self-loathing, and envy is all that's left of (for) me No Conquering Visions of a future so serene Conquering Visions of a life of constant building Conquering Visions of lines blurred oh so passionately Conquered

22.
The weekend drives A moment of weakness is survived I'm tired of talking to angels before i sleep They've done nothing but take time from me I can only count the block backwards sixty clicks a silence so deep I feel the echos biting at my feet Chipping the structures I've built so deep Yet until nothing is left Until I've used up all my best Against the waves I pull Yet until nothing is left I am survived

Survived
I am not a ghost ive burned these bones, and sent my soul back home i am not a ghost im learning patience, grace, and self control i am not a ghost looking for a hand to hold ive planted a seed in roots too deep in echoes of hallways across the sea inner beauty and tales of conquering im redefining myself in storied words of triumph and self-defeat i am not a ghost for you can breathe me in i am not a ghost exhale me softly ill take on your sins i am not a ghost chaotic equations of love and hate burying a past, cleaning a slate restoring innocence of of the purest state i am not a ghost of past or present i am a man of neither tomorrow nor today leaving softly, i close my eyes i am not a ghost
