Give way..

Lamenting 

mourning 

hurting inside..

burying you deep

as if it’s something to hide..

Grieving is love that’s exploded inside..

fragments remain 

keeping you sane 

Just enough to shoulder the blame..

Shadow boxing here 

Shadow boxing there

It’s worn you down

leveling you to the ground..

Stop fighting yourself 

don’t do it alone 

step into new space as you roam..

What is dead may never die 

let it tear through the shadows of your sky..

May it thunder through to the silence of your heart..

hear the sounds of freedom as darkness gives way to light..

let the mourning change with the morning bright..

your mind will rewind

to promises of old 

reliving stories you’ve been told 

as it fills your soul 

it will make you whole..

Diseased by love

the more i know 

the further i go 

sinking into that rabbit hole...

It owns me

dethrones me 

setting apart my heart

Bleeding me through depleting what i knew..

Part of me dies as i come alive..

beautiful disease

do what you please

cure me from the rot that eats my heart..

messy, chaotic, tangled and swept 

adversely affected is all that I’ve kept..

Strange steps take us back 

The cinder beneath guiding our feet 

our minds go quiet 

While our hearts riot..

in awe 

amazed, uncertain

unsure

of all that our mind had never heard..

i hope this illness 

can heal us 

from all we’ve come to be

You’ve chiseled me down 

I’ll wear this madness of you 

like a crown..

Unstuck

dare to be different 

changing our hold

bold in what we know 

the older we grow

wisdom is ours 

Ours to behold..

bend like a willow

strong like an oak

Life will be peaceful 

as we lighten our yoke.. 

You leveled the play 

in that way of yours 

jumbled my heart

got me to stay..

Door is wide open

Hinges remain 

Haunt me please 

Leave your stain 

Distinct and different 

I’ll not be the same...
