What if love was contagious
Like some sort of disease
Affecting all religions and races
Bringing the world to its knees

Where a cure is never found
Where no one even tries
A disease that for years sticks around
Contaminating all of mankind

From a kind word being said
To a hug when it's needed the most
In hopes it quickly spreads
With everyone being the host

What if love was a disease
And it was highly contagious
No need to put us all in quarantine
Because love is a disease that would save us
One, two, I'm falling apart.
Three, Four, catch me, I'm falling.
Five, six, I don't want to get back to the start.
Seven, eight, help me, I can't hear you calling.
Nine, ten, I'm empty, like a fallen bird with broken wings.
I can see that twinkle in your eyes when
I sweep your hair around your ear
yet your gaze is deep and uncertant
wondering what your thinking

your arms wrap around my waist
as mine are wrapped around yours
the space between our faces oh so
dangerously close, oh so tempting

the heat giving off by our bodies
building to unrelenting passion
trying not to submit yet not wanting
to be the first to let go

holding on holding on until the fire
is too much we burn with intensity
just let our bodies melt into one
create a solar flare that travels

at the speed of light and touches
all of our universe and beyond
till i see that twinkle in your eyes
as I sweep the hair around your ear
Walking up and down the street, just like we used to,
Holding hands, holding conversations, holding each other in our hearts.
Now I walk that same street alone,
Holding nothing, holding emptiness, holding memories in my heart.
Memories of how we used to be, back when we were in love,
Holding everything together, never standing alone.
Then things changed, but we tried to fight it,
Holding on to something that was already too far gone to save.
So now I walk that same street alone, holding on to the knowledge that we can never get that back, Holding on to the love that's not worth holding on to anymore.
I am in need of someone to hold!
Hold on, maybe not. I have someone holding me!

Thank you,,Jesus!

My love for you is,
Brighter than the sun,
Deeper than the sea,
Broader than the oceans,
Bigger than the universe,
And stronger than your love for her.

Do you think its funny?
To make fun of a person,
A culture,
A lifestyle,
That they have no control over?
It isn't cool.
Not at all.
It hurts,
And its unacceptable.
But I keep my head down,
And continue walking,
Let you win,
Because no one wants a fight.

The threat of relapse is always on my mind,
Its a dream,
And a wish,
To go back to that "safeness" that I once felt.
I miss it,
But I push it to the back of my mind,
And struggle up the mountain,
Until I reach the top.

I wish I could take an eraser to my skin,
And get rid of the outcome,
Of what happened when I took part of a pencil sharpener to it.

I have a lot of words for you,
but most are going to be left unspoken.
The only think I can say now,
is I'm strong,
but as a beautiful song once said,
"Even the best fall down sometimes."
I'm sorry.
