When 'ere I see your smile
You take away all pain
You make my heart just skip a beat
With the speaking of your name!
For just to put it mildly
I loved you at first sight
The moment that I first saw you
My heart had taken flight!
Youre here beside me everyday
No shadow of a doubt
You fill my soul, encourage me
And show what love's about!
You've always stood so bold and strong
Just right here next to me
Your love is not conditional
It's more like Heavenly!
As all the times I caused you pain
By living my life wrong
You've shown me what fogiveness was
And moved our love along.
I pray my Lord will show me how
To love you in His way
He'll help me be the man I should,
Walk closer day by day!
I pray He'll help me do what's right,
Far better than the past
To hold you close wrapped in these arms
And show you love to last!

blackened bones cracking in the flames
im sinking, heart drowned, disparity compounding the remains
and this is all i know

if offered potentially bothered could that be the downfall
though left to another, untethered, lost lover, wheeled away
hoarse-throat fear i cannot lose you i cannot lose you
but neither can this stay

it is on occasion, more frequent than before
that i see in you, such that ive seen scorch
the heat is calming, until it is too much to bear
fire in my stomach, too much for me to share
molten marrow dripping from the ribs
and from the eyes, burning, freezing, twisting, bare
i care too much to tell you how i think that you will fare
this light that is entrancing, it will keep you blindly petrified
try not to stare, turn away, though i know you wont you cant im terrified
im scared

and i am here just barely, just hardly
the heart in cremation from unchecked eyes, severely unemployed mind
im sorry im sorry im sorry

but what am i supposed to say
when collar bones hold souls
captively in rapture
fractured aspirations, broken realizations
with dark unsanctioned swiftness
partly breathing patience
but i cant relive this
and im sorry and im sorry
so please
offer me fogiveness
