Your lips are still your lips
And your eyes are still your eyes,
Burning with desire from the moment I passed
You on that dimly lit street in September.
All I could think was:
“I love you.”

my soul almost died today
but He pulled me back
and surrounded me with grace.
He called me his daughter
and for the first time,
I felt safe.
loved.
wanted.

Dear God,

please keep my head above water,
even when I feel like drowning,
I know your hands are guiding the waves.

I wonder what it would be like to die for ten minutes.
for ten minutes, to be at peace.
to be free from the chaos.
for ten minutes, I wonder what I would miss in life
wondering if anyone would even care if
I was gone.

for ten minutes.

let me be the sweet whisper to the madness in your mind.
let me undress your wounds and seal them
with my love.
let me be that star you confess your wishes to.
let me be the sunrise that wakes you up in the morning
and moonlight that lets you rest at night.  
let me love you.
with my heart.
my soul.
let me love YOU.
