i need to stop
setting myself on fire
to keep you warm.

I’ve scuffled with wanting greatness,
A grip that’s held onto me tight
Squeezing the life out til I’m just tired
Weak and stressed
Wanting everything to be just alright

Don't cry because it’s over
Smile because it happened
No matter the loss of a dear one or something else
Don't just let it go set it free
Keep the memory in your heart
The ache has to subside
It is in its place
You can move on and set it free and yourself

our lips will never meet
nor our fingers intertwine
and so bless my dreams
for indulging what's not mine

My thirst grows as the cup flows
If I drink
My lips will turn red as a rose
If I drink
My thirst will not learn to slow
So I bite my tongue
and I say
"keep me safe, keep me safe"

You reach out
Your scarred hand
Nailed to a Cross
For me to touch
To hold
To remember
Lest I forget
Your words through
Parched , bleeding lips
"I commented my Spirit"
Let me touch you
Let me hear you
You are my Life line
Keep me afloat

Because of you
my head held high
because of you
I learned how to
fly
