River
Persevere, my dear
For everything you lack
And all the voids unfilled
One day, soon
I promise
You're happiness will overflow

Maybe it will be
The day you die
When you realize
All the ego's lies
Were making you unsatisfied

But I hope today
Is a different day for you
I hope today
You don't make yet another excuse
To self-sabotage and continue on in your abuse
Of your beautiful body and
Your magnificent mind
I truly hope that you decide
To be kind to yourself

Trust me,
I would know
It's not always easy
To feel like you are pleasing
You get addicted to appeasing
Other's egos
But my dear
Wrap yourself within the warmth of your own arms
Because today,
You don't have to feel this way,
You are safe
You don't have to be addicted to your vices
That only bring temporary relief...
No darling,
You can make a change today in your life
And persevere through the trials of transformation
Until one day,
You awaken
To eyes crystal clear
And a heart that can feel again.

Grace
I want to kiss you
Just for the sake of your lips
Caressing my lips
Just for the sake
of your God-blessed breath
Breathed into my body

I want to press on you
Just for the sake of your scent
Of sunshine and cream
Just for the sake
of my nose inhaling your neck
Carving you into my mind

I want to be swaddled with you
Blended into blankets
Melted into your skin
Just for the sake
of sipping in your mellowed pulse
Calming my blood
I know love and longing
are not one in the same
So I make no delusions
of love and its pain
but I fell asleep softly
to the sounds of the rain
and in the torrent unleashing
It uttered your name
I promised myself then
to fear no storm again
And the longing grew louder
In the raindrops you stain.
