Before he came along I didn't believe in love anymore.
I had been betrayed too many times.
I was completely fine being separate from love.
But then he started showing me over time that what I had experienced before wasn't love.
It was false.
It was weak.
It only wanted to use me.
He showed me he was different...
he actually cares about my heart, he puts me first even when he could choose to think of himself.
He loves me so well and I love him back.
It took me a long time to find him, but he was worth the wait and the other pain.
For if I had not been betrayed by false lovers I would have never found my true love.
I'm thankful for everything that has led to this, to him.

Learning to see the beauty through the darkened rain.
Feel the peace of the storm as it washes everything from me.
Closing my eyes and feeling the drops on my eyelids as my tears get mixed in.
Letting the hurricane take away my weakness in order to make me stronger. Making me bare, only my bones are seen through the  downpour of rain.
I will trust you Lord for you are King of the skies that bring the storms. As I become weak you become my only strength. I will trust you for you're all that is faithful and true.

She  covered  her  ears  and  focused  on  her  deep  breathing. ­ The   sound  of  her  lungs  expanding  and  the  air  leaving  through­  her  clenched  teeth.  Trying  to  drown  out  the  sound  of  ­all  of  them  screaming.  The  vile  words  echoing  on  the  wo­oden  floors  of  the  house.  She  just  wanted  it  all  to  st­op.  So  she  kept  breathing,  surrounding  herself  with  the  ­sound  of  the  inhale,  exhale.  Inhale,  exhale.


Just

Keep

You whisper the words,
I hold them inside my being.
My heart explodes,
For the meaning.
Meaning,
Of love.
To hear those words,
Spoken from your lips,
Those words,
Meant to touch my soul.
They travel through my ears,
Down to my heart,
Warming my body on their way.

" I'm  in  love  with  you "

Those simple words you say.
Create in me,

E l e c t r i c i t y .

Yes, I am falling in love with you.
At first I did not realize why I was feeling this feeling,
But now I know, I am growing in love with you.
Why?
Don’t ask me why,
For all I can reply with is
‘Why not?’
I could stand by you,
No, you’re not perfect.
You’ll never be.
But I’m not a perfect me,
So let’s be an imperfect harmony
I’ll love you with a love I don’t understand.
Yet it will
all  
make
sense.

The branches of the trees above,
Writing on the sky.
Writing wonder to the clouds,
And the stars at night.
Whispering sways through the wind that is blown,
Murmurings of the world, through the wind it is carried,
All this, the sound of sweet beauty.
Oh, she watched in wonder.

Warmth to the heart,

Touching the soul.



The smell of ash,

Like the days of old.



Waiting for a spark,

A love that will ignite.



Where I will feel alive,

To
the
c
o
r
e
.



With love,

As the fuel.



Let it be alive,

Like a fire

Just give me Jesus,
He’s all I need.
He’s always there,
He won’t leave me.
Like all the imperfect people out there who have.
He won’t give up,
Or just move on.
He will be here encouraging me.
Helping me.
Carrying my burden.
Holding my heart as I give it as an offering in my child state.
He shows me the low way.
He guides my eyes to the hills,
He takes me to places where no one else will be.
He is my friend,
My Savior,
My King.

When I feel down,
Or I’ve been thrown to the dirt,
All battered and scared.
He will clean my wounds and give me peace.
He will show me the way to go.
For the dirt is where the flowers grow.

The sun awoke as the tears of love came down,
I collect them in the bottle inside,
Seal it tight and sail it to you.
Pour out my love for you, darling.
On the shores of your heart.
Keep close to you, the bottle I give you.
Keep close to mind, to heart, to being.
The tears I've shed for you.
That you won't slip the grasp, how you are loved.
Hold on, I won't let go.
