I love him
I tell myself
I know that
We will be together forever
I don’t believe that
We could be separated
My thoughts tell me that
He’s the love of my life
Sometimes my heart lies and says
I could live an eternity
Without him
Like my friends say
“We’re perfect for each other”
And you can’t tell me
He’s not the one.

Now read from bottom to top.

I've always been happy
Thinking alone,
Always been content
At home on my own.

Yet lately I'm finding,
The dictionary is true,
I am still happy alone,
But now I get lonely too.
I think I have grown out of my own company
She watches a firefly dancing
in the pretty, sorrowful darkness.
She’s a moonflower clinging to her dream,
singing songs of love and magic.
A mystical vision in the radiance of night,
in her concluding silky, passionate glide upon the deathless sky,
in her deepest grief,
some blissful dreams arise.
If I gave you my soul,
would you read each page?
Scribble notes of interest
and know me.
Would you take the time,
to help tape the seams?
Would you mend,
the fragility of my soul?
It tears and rips,
easily, emotionally.

you sit with me in my silence.
and that means more to me
than
roses and chocolate.

A life lived in the divine lane is always rewarded with a glorious finale.
if i wrote my future
all would be changed
from the way i was raised
to the thoughts in my brain
if i wrote my future
no love would be lost
so i’d stand right beside you
no matter the cost
if i wrote my future
i’d bring nothing but peace
and save you from sorrow
and the darkness that creeps
if i wrote my future
you’d still be here
but you wrote my future
and i did nothing
but stare
When life is miserable like the coldest harsh winter,
Remember Spring is around the corner,
With hope and a fresh new beginning.

I hide away from the shadows.
They cloud my senses.
I avoid them at my every grasp.
Covering my fears like a mask
Freeing
Hiding
Running

Safety is just a cover-up.
A mask per-say
To hide the pain I endure every day.

Sometimes I drift too far.
To uncover
The pain within
I fall
Down deeper than I ever want to go
To the deep within
Full of locked memories and broken dreams
I arrive at the candy store of childhood horrors

The word that is used to describe my pain
“Salty”
“Agro”
Brief description
That is nowhere near correct
I mask my pain with anger and smiles
Hoping to reconcile with the thing people call god

What is god
Is god a service
A prayer
Or just a figment of our imagination
Is it some man floating in the sky opening the gates of heaven
Saying walk right in

No
God is who we want it to be
It is something to cherish and to hold
In the darkest of times

Then why do I not believe?
Will it make things better?
Saying
Our god who art in heaven, please help
Maybe so that
I can breathe again
