oh darling,
you must understand
i never meant for it to be like this
never meant for it to be us
locking eyes
and quickly looking away.

oh darling,
you must believe me when i say
you're merely a figment
of my wild imagination
you don't exist
and if you do -
well it's in my mind

but darling,
don't worry
i'll look for you in
the crescent moon eyes
of a real boy
to call my own.

I sit cross legged on a rock
drinking a lot out of a top with an octopus on it
with all these thoughts in a knot
like I swallowed a shot of hot lava
and i'm bothered see
I mean
this bothers me
I don't want to sit blocked
I want the ability to think clearly
I feel the wind on my skin and that helps me begin freely
and as the clouds wash all this doubt
I feel the ground
coming to drown out all of my pleads
I start choking on leaves
until a tree sneezes
from the debris I was cleaning
leaving me and my knees to bleed
i'm on the side of this cliff
& if I slip
i'll probably start to believe in all kinds of things
but i don't want to slip to believe
I want to just breathe it
and being here clearly steers my fear away
like nature was all that I needed

An angel sleeps
so far away from me
she use to be
a dream I would pray for

her heart it bleeds
as she begs me to see
e v e r y t h i n g
we laid down and stood for

better than me
cause she feels effortlessly
the truth that pries
and pounds on my front door

But I still leave
like i'm too blind to believe
that I could have been
all that she hoped for

One day she'll see
when she is forgetting me
that she's a Queen
that she deserves so much more
than
me

We need to have empathy, this way we can feel others pain and joy.
We need this as well as unconditional love for other people .
I feel tears stream down my face when I see hurting people.
We need to be able to place ourselves in other people shoes.
Then we can see them not as evil people but ones whom are hurting.
Then we shall have compassion for other people which is important.
Then we can love others unconditionally which Christ calls us to.
Unconditional Love with Compassion and Empathy we can love others.

Tears are flooding my eyes, while I am thinking about them.
The hopeless, the hurting, the ones whom see no future.
Like the woman that was ***** and abuse over and over.
I know the feeling of living a hopeless life on this planet.
For at one time I was one of them myself, its sad way of life.
But I know now there is only one being that can give you Hope.
The Christ, God and the Savior of the universe, he is our only hope.
Still there are too many that are lost if only they would open their hearts to him.
For he is our only Hope of having a true life, only he can save us.

She lays there a pregnant woman
the future a burden
kicking from the inside
    begging for its time
        pleading for fruition

hush now
                     I lullaby
you will come just like I came and my dad came and my grandfather came

                                   loud and after two minutes

she lays there a pregnant woman
and I swear
                      I can feel the future kicking
I am coming it echoes
...and so it was
    ...and so it did
