Save me my angel
Bound behind human skin
I was made to protect you
You were made to heal
Our purpose is clear
How will you know this
And how will you care
Queen of the sea and sky
You ride the backs of clouds
And you are the sun
You wrote the songs for the birds
And you are the starlit night
The waves crash at the base of your feet
Your voice heard like the breeze
Felt just the same
Ease my troubled mind
My love
For I am here alone
Waiting for the courage to emerge
On it's own
With effortless dreams
While you sail the walls
That hold me
Ever changing
Maybe at some point my soul cried for you
My other half
The one who balanced me in all ways
The missing piece to my completion
I will never know
But you came
Hacking through the thorns
Taming the wild garden I buried myself in

This wild heart
Calmed with kindness
Opened to welcome love
Guided to accept my worth

My soul cried for your love
And you came
I will never be alone again
I

Now I have been you
walking indifferent
with you walking
opposite.
I haven't noticed
that you haven't
noticed me.
I didn't return
your glance,
I was checking traffic,
crossing the street,
and dissapearing.

Now I have been you,
holding
the hand-blown glass sphere
in my hands.
Were you conscious,
as I should be,
of the necessary delicacy?
Did you notice
the intricate composition,
or have we both grown
too familiar
with our object?
Thank you
For sharing some of your heart with me
I promise I will keep it safe
And I will never walk away
I know it seems strange
That I should love your heart so fiercely
Precious in the eyes of the Lord
Is the death of His faithful ones
You have died a thousand deaths
And the Lord was never blind
He has chosen to let me see your heart
With the love held in His eyes
You are not forgotten
And you are not alone
Your heart bleeds love until its empty
And still you give
Desperately reaching
For something that can fill you
Before you become
Too hollow to survive
I know you've been betrayed
Attacked by those you love
And those who were meant to love you
More than anyone
Your soul shudders from the longing
For a mother who doesn't dig
Deep claw marks in your heart
For a father who doesn't leave
Such angry emptiness inside you
For a world that makes some sense
Because it shouldn't be this way
You carry such a burden
And you try so hard to hide it
These wounds inside your heart
Bleed out all the more with fierce compassion
You long to protect and rescue others
The way you never were
And I promise you this day
No matter how you wander
Or get lost in the storms
I will never walk away
I know the truth your heart has forgotten
I see it when I look through God's eyes
You are precious in His sight
So you are precious in my eyes
You say you are a burden
I say you are a gift from God
And I give thanks
That He let me stand with you
You may not understand it
Perhaps you never will
This side of Heaven
But that's alright
Just trust me when I say
You are God's gift in my life
You never have to apologize
You don't have to thank me
Thank you for sharing some of your heart with me
I promise I will keep it safe
And I will never walk away
If
If I spoke to you,
You would listen and smile.
We would be friends.
And it would be perfect.

If I asked if you were busy,
You would say no.
We would be on our way.
And it would be perfect.

If I told you a secret,
You would keep it in you heart.
There would be nothing between us.
And it would be perfect.

If I told you I loved you,
You would feel the same.
Nothing else would matter.
And it would be perfect.

If I imagined a future with you,
There would be love and possibility.
You'd be the star my life revolves around.
And it would be perfect.

It would all be perfect.

If.
What if the thing that brought you the most joy
Was also the monster in your life
That with every glimmer of desperate happiness
Something else decided to slide it's devious knifes into your side
Is the good part of the deed that is done
worth sacrificing the little bits of your heart that are left
It's always been this way with you
deviating between the good and the bad
Always going with the delightful and enchanting look first
then changing to a different hue, that we all know so much better
This always could be so much longer
not today, today was a day spent bleeding
Don't you wish today was just like the day at the beach
instead today was just like the day after the beach
No longer enjoying the rays and the waves
instead metaphorical blisters represent realistic screaming pain between us
Hope for tomorrow
and pray for the next day after.
Since tomorrow is a good day for us to talk, your voice will bring me joy
I'll break the cycle here, to see if it'll fix our lives as well.
Everyday is a battle some worse than others.  Definitely not something most people will understand.
You want a rough guy,
Well that's just not me, baby
You want a man that'll waste your time
Instead of worry about your safety

I'm gentle, but I'm a wreck
You're always on my mind
I cant seem to satisfy
**** this poem, I'm to mad to even write
Thinking I'm gonna try and be someone I'm not for you.
LOL nope.
