She creates waves wherever she treads
She’s not just controversial
She is life and death

I stare at the black and white picture on your tombstone
Your face stamped into the earth
You left imprints in my heart
Occasionally some other thing will come along
Vying to fill the gaps you left
But I never let anything into those incisions
For though there are deep empty spots in me
They remind me you were here
The lingering spaces left by you
Are my last reminders you were really mine once

My love, you’re nectar to me
I desire your sweetness in the morning
Your mind is delicious

Of all cruel inventions
The bird cage must be of the cruelest
To confine a creature meant to soar
Behind bars, never to reach its full potential
That is cruel indeed

If you live life for yourself
Your desires, your cravings, your benefit
You will never be content
Dissatisfied and empty
If you live your life for those around you
Their benefit, their joy and well being
You will discover you are more fulfilled
Than ever before
You will overflow
