Only human..

I walk through the valley of the shadow of death 

I welcome it in 

desperate for rest 

I run till i fall in search of it all..

The charm of the quiet 

I’m under its’ spell 

I scream till I yell

hungry for anyone to look at me and tell..

I may be alone 

as my grasp gives way to the icy fingers on their own

no one there to warm my hand..

It’s ok - I understand..

The only way outward is inward 

Don’t think me coward

for there isn’t a lie I’d rather know than the truth..

Sweet death

stretched so tight I no longer feel..

the impenetrable wall

The divide growing 

as our hearts are sowing new paths..

Opposition to one another

Fighting for space in the canvas of your heart.. 

Until I say no more 

no more to saying yes

Freeing myself to choose..

Only when I’m free

Can i keep the monsters at bay 

The ones I can’t see that choke the air out of me..

I knew this day might come 

though I knew you were my truth.. 

there’s no comfort in waiting for the last beat of our hearts

Let it die before that starts..

But mostly 

I need you to look out and see 

you will always be a part of me..

Best of me..

I want to drink the air

Live in the sunset 

taste the water 

emerge from it new

washed clean from all I’ve seen..

layer after layer I shed my skin

Looking for the freedom of where to begin 

Only to find the same eyes pulling me back again..

What does it matter that I shed the outside gone-

my insides whirl round and round owning me strong..

I could choose to give in to all of my sins

Or reach out my hand to the one I know so well -

The best of me..

There you are standing tall

I exist because you chose to fall

Thank you for loving me through it all..

Play Me...

our melody hit every note

fine tuning its’ way for the perfect pitch that became you & I..

you sing through me 

Vibrating my heart strings 

until they hum a love so sweet 

I hear it in my heartbeat 

traipsing through my veins 

wafting throughout my being 

humming your way to my heart until it became our home 

our love is like a soldier 

standing strong 

Loyal to us - it rights all wrongs 

I learned a love song

my heart will never be empty 

for your melody always plays softly throughout me..

My soul to keep..

Your mind 

my thoughts

It mattered not..

the essence of you and i weaved a soul of love unknown..

the joy boundless

sealing us tight..

It won’t matter what is written or the 

words spoken out loud but never given..

we lived it freely 

We lived it real

until time stood still..

I couldn’t stay, I can’t pretend 

My heart went silent..

I lost my way when I couldn’t feel the beating of my mainstay..

So now I lay me down to sleep 

for my soul needs yours in order to keep..

I hope they know

I pray they see

Though life’s unfair 

we’ll find our way in every sphere..
