Take the precious pen
and tuck it safely away
the words are not here
the ink will not speak today
○
Straighten the stark parchment
and push it to one side
the words will not appear
they remain hidden somewhere inside
○
Push my dutiful desk
far away from the window
the words do not need a place
when there are none to show
○
Store away my chair
make use of it elsewhere
the words have disappeared
and I have none left to share
○
Take me from this room
a quiet place no longer in need
the words are now so still
perhaps it is I they'll no longer feed
¤

I
would
give you my
forever but I doubt
I will be around that long
so I'll give you what I've got and
hope that it's
enough

I
Would
Give you my
Dreams but you're in
Them all so won't you walk
With me and we
Could live
Them
All

I
Would
Give you my
Heart but it's already
Been shattered so I'll give you
What's left and we can
Heal together

I
Would
Give you all
I've ever had but
I've never had much so
You can take what you want
I trust you
*My Love

The breeze blows lightly, brushing my face
Up through my hair, like fingers did trace
I thought of my love, with Jesus she stays
Now in the air, she stops and plays.

Bigger scars make better stories
But I've buried these words inside my bones
Staring at the same ceiling for far too long
All these places I have rested my head and none of them feel like home
I would trade my sweetest memory
To feel the breeze
Be at ease
Find some inner peace
Sweet release
I have clawed at flaws
Made friends with the stars
It's easier to lock myself in than deal with these scars
Strangers are passing time
Kissing in cars
While I construct another wall
Hide behind bars
