Mrs Ashley Somebody
take-off of Say Something*

Speak to me, I want to trust in You
I’ll be the one, if You want me to
Anywhere I wanna follow You
Speak to me, I want to trust in You

And I am feeling so small
I tried trusting myself
But I knew nothing at all

And I might stumble and fall
I’m still learning to trust
To listen to Your call

Speak to me, I want to trust in You
I’m sorry that I didn’t listen to You
Anywhere I wanna follow You
Speak to me, I want to trust in You

And I will swallow my pride
You’re the One that I love
With Your arms open wide

Speak to me, I want to trust in You
I'm trying to change, come back to You
And anywhere I wanna follow you
Speak to me, I want to trust in You.

My heart is open, speak Your truth
I’m waiting for Your word
For I know that You’re the only one
Who can heal my every hurt.

My eyes are open, show Your face
I’m waiting for Your love
For I know that You’re the only one
Who can fix my heart up.

Open me, I’m asking You:
Take and break these chains;
Flood my heart with mercy
And blind my eyes with grace.

My hands are open, take Your glory
I was stealing it all for me
But I know that You’re the only one
Who deserves my bended knee.

My mouth is open, take Your praise
I’m tired of praising my own name
For I know that You’re the only one
Who can make that claim.

Open me, I’m asking You:
Take and break these chains;
Flood my heart with mercy
And blind my eyes with grace.
Open me, I know it’s You
Who holds a hurting heart
Drown my soul in Your love
And heal my every scar.

What have I to live for?
And what have I to lose?
Where, oh, can I run to
If I dare to refuse?

Tired-hungry days
Get me down like nothing else
Except for those ones,
Missing-the-past days, and you
The days when I just miss you.

Mrs Ashley Somebody
You always give truth
All my days I will listen
Your words give me life.

Excuse me sir, but
"Heartbreak" isn't metaphor
It's physical pain.

Mrs Ashley Somebody
Don't make promises
Promises just become lies
When you are this young.

Mrs Ashley Somebody
Nobody knows me
I am a stranger to all
Especially me.

I've always wanted
To write a poem about it
Because, just because.
I don't know why, but I guess
I really like it.
 May 2014
Mrs Ashley Somebody
I want to obey
Because I know I'll be safe
When I follow You.

His dark mood was calm
And with a look in his eyes
That spoke of patience.

Mrs Ashley Somebody
I awoke at 1 AM
And had no reason why.
Perhaps my dreams were torn from me
And with them my sleep so shy.

Maybe my mind could sense that I
Had gotten three emails so far
And maybe I wanted to see if one
Would make or break my heart.

It wasn't there. But it could arrive
If I stayed awake but ten more minutes;
I read the ones that I had received
But felt no spark of interest.

I wondered again why I'd woken late
In the bowels of the night;
Maybe somewhere in this world
Someone special gained their sight.

Yesterday someone's ears were ringing
And their friend said, You know what that means—
Someone's talking about you, girl

And I wonder if this is the same.

If I'm awake because someone's dreaming,
And I'm awake in their dream,
I know it's not the one I dreamed of
Unless in school he's fallen asleep.

Maybe the planet was calling out
And only I could hear them;
Maybe the world begins to turn
One notch faster at 1 AM.
