I'll make peace with my heart
Someday I'll get over the hurt
I'll see to my scars and every bruise
beautiful stars in the sky will be my muse
someday I'll pick myself up & stop talking
that day it will be about walking
for I'll be moving on past the shades of regret
past the bitterness of being dabbed an ingrate
someday I'll cross this River without fear
use her waters to wash away every tear
leave  this place printless like I was never here
I'll forget this past for it holds nothing dear
I'll collect all the scattered shards
and leave like the gorgeous journey birds
only there's no chance I'll ever lay foot here again
for this place has but caused me so much pain
I hate to go but I have to leave and to believe
for how long must one soul shatter and one heart grieve?

When you are sick,
Everything seems harder to do.
That you are moving slower,
Don't you think that's true?
I'm a understanding guy
If you give me a chance, you'll know why
You have bigger fish to fry
Than to get stuck into somebody's web
I'm not here to control you
I'm not here to keep you captured in my cage
You're the other half of me
So I want you to be relaxed
You can do what you want
Im not going to stop your elation
You can play around with other women
As long as you tell me
I don't care
It won't bother me
It you tell me what you're doing
Trust is what keeps things alive
I'm trustworthy with others
So that shouldn't be exempt here
I'm ready to preserve
On being the best for you
Your top ace
Of the lineup
If you show me that you really love me and that you really care, and go the extra mile to prove it to me that you do
I will be grateful forever
You can be free and you
You're not my property
I'm just the man you chose to be with
That special one
You want to spend the rest of your life with
I'm perfectly happy with that
You created a happy man

When you look across the lake,
What do you truly see.
Do you see a body of water,
Or inspiration so to speak.

It's all about what cannot be seen,
Way beyond first glance.
Maybe you see your friend across,
Doing a little dance.

Maybe you think about,
What lies beneath the lake.
A fish sitting at a table,
Eating a piece of cake.

It does not have to exist in nature,
It just needs to exist to you.
Just get out there and write,
Inspiration is waiting to find you.

Sometimes it is hard,
To understand the things,
Going through the mind,
When the heart sings.
Racheal McKnight Jan 2016
Never let yourself,
Be taken by surprise.
For all you know the day may come,
Where you have to say goodbye.
