It's amazing how your life can change within a matter of days.
All of a sudden the very thing that made you happy,
is now the one thing making you sad.
When you lived your life thinking, "This is how its meant to be."
Only to find out, it's not.
It's incredible how you have to learn how adapt to this sudden change, and just go about your life.
As if you were prepared for this and as if you're okay with it.
How do you just let go of something that was once the center of your life?

Escaping

What is an escape?
Sometimes just lying in your bed.
Sometimes isolation from everything.

What do we escape from?
Life? Sadness?
Maybe not knowing whether you're coming or going.

Why do we need to escape?
It drives us mad.
It gets too much and we don't know how to communicate.

They see you hurt and still they judge
They laugh
They point
But never did they help until it was too late

Can we be lovers?

Why is it wrong but it feels so right?
I think about it all through the night.

Are we supposed to be in love?
Don't tell me it's lust.

We're not supposed to be together?
But our hearts wants this forever.

Do we tell them the truth?
Or keep it a lie?

I'll break down every night...
But I'm willing to give us a try.

She

She tucks herself in deep, heavy linen.
Faith is nothing but a thread hanging onto hope.
Seconds are the limit it takes for thoughts to present.
Liquid of salt creeps out by the lids, red from strain.
The stabbing fight in her stomach, she holds.
Pounding heart as if to break free at last.

She leaves the secrets in the sheets.
A smile as bright, she wears on the streets.

The baggage

When does it end?
When do I walk away?
From the rope that keeps pulling me down?

How do I prosper?
How do I succeed?
This Rollercoaster keeps turning around!

I want to let go!
I need to be free!
Where is thy Savior, can He hear me?

I can't take this pain!
The past is past!
The hurt will never end, can't you see. The memories always last.

Meek..

How do you love me with all this pain?
How do you look at me and smile and not feel ashamed?

How does my past not affect what you feel for me?
Even when you're loving and I'm screaming for you to leave me?
