Somewhere ahead my soul walks the Valley of Life & Death; in limbo between dying & birth,

My Spirit is trying to keep me alive yet my flesh is just dying to scour the earth.

Where do I sign to sell the devil my soul or do I continue giving God the le-way to excavate, mold & tread my path.

Allowing him to be before all; I choose everything is well but to dismay the right always brings me near to gravity & closer to wrath.

I've never experienced such Love, Pain and Sorrow in all the years I've anchored to another heart,

To feel so close yet so distant and far away yet so close but always feeling like were 7 miles apart.

I can't tell you how to feel, you are a person all your own though within I am dying from the challenge this has come to be,

If I would have known then what I've seen now, I would have never accepted us to pass and our souls would still be flowing free.

I have no room to breathe for who I once loved so much has taken my throat & is choking me down deep into the ground,

To realize that you really don't care and all that surrounds us has been dead but from time to time can be graciously found.

I cannot breathe when you are away, I cannot feel when you are not near but when your near we end up silent because of your ways,

Empty moments, skin that feels numb and all these quarrels feel like numerous, endless, hopeless and faithless days,

To look back now and claim you as I have is a huge lesson It was absurd and down right deadly and THANK GOD THAT YOU WERE JUST A PHASE.
