Staring into hazy eyes
I slowly start to realize
that you are several leagues away,
and now I understand~
Tried to solve the mystery
went looking for some history
I'd dive back down if just to see
and stir the sleeping sand.

We drown out all the pain we feel
far-away things seem not as real
but there's a ton of brokenness
on the bottom of the bay
weighted well to keep it down
in hopes that time would surely drown
the misery which hangs around
to cloud the dreary day.

I didn't know just what you felt
the searing fire, the burning welt
the scars of life, of loss and such
which numbed your spirit, hurt so much
and wounds so deep, they should have bled
attended to, would heal~ instead
they linger painlessly, you've said
in places way too deep to touch.

I feel the tug upon my fin
and draw a breath of water in
and surface here to find I've been
caught up in love's illusion.
you nearly dried me in the sun
and here I'm thinking 'so much fun'
but like all fish, I've come undone
awakened, our delusion.

I'll never truly understand
for I'm a fish and you're a man
I swim in garbage, not my plan
it's only your pollution.
there is no way a fish will drown
I'll let the current take me down
just one more gem in Neptune's crown
and that is my solution.

I make my bed there in the deep
and on my watch, I rarely sleep
the nets they drag for memories,
I keep them all from catching~
the one's you've drowned there in a heep
the painful one's I'd rather keep
and as I swim this sea of bleep
none will be for snatching.

I am afraid.
I know the odds are against me.
I have doubts. I have so many doubts.
But I offer you my bare wrists.
I offer you my whole heart.
I offer you my body
And my mind.
I believe that to receive what you wish for more than anything in the world
You have to be willing to risk everything you have.
So here, I risk it.
I lay on the table the darkest days of my life
And the possibility that they will happen all over again.
I surrender my pride, and my logic, and my suspicion.
I hold nothing. I present it all.
I strip myself of the armor I use to fend off feeling.
Because the bottom line is that faith
Is the biggest risk you can take.
I am full of thoughts whirring like gears in a motor,
Full of doubt like ice water,
But faith is not about being sure.
Faith is about knowing that everything could crash down
And deciding that there is something you need to love
More than you need to be ready for that fall.
This is my decision. This is my show of faith.
I offer my bare wrists to this world
And if it demands a blood sacrifice,
I will be unsurprised.
But if there is even the smallest chance
That someday I will hold you in my arms
It is worth the risk.
It is worth every risk.
I've always thought
Summer's breezes
Were sweet and beautiful

Until the breeze
That blew threw my heart
And took you with it

I held out my hand
Fell to my knees
For you
But you were gone
Before I had the chance

I'd fallen
Like a feather onto the ground
Soft and gentle
Into your arms
Where you caught me

But now
The summer breeze
That runs it's soft fingers
Through my soul
Takes it with you
And you disappear

I hadn't realized
How much of you
Was my heart
Until I realized


                                I miss my heart
