Broken

Life changes so fast
so
                suddenly
trust
                              no one
It's so hard to read people
        so hard to
Tell if they're worth
    your time

Or if you're fated to
be broken hearted once more

It seems like life
                 always leaves me
          shattered

Maybe that's my meant-to-be
         my motivation

Forever                One
     broken        no
                trust

Then I Saw You

Anger explodes inside of me like a rocket
Taking off for the first time.
It flows through my veins with a
Strange eeriness.
I can't make it stop, so I cry
Alone, in pain.
I wish something hurt worse than
Anger.
Anger torching my heart
Stabbing straight through my flesh.


Then I saw you.


Your smile lit up the whole room
And I realized there was nothing
To worry about.

Now, every day I stand here,
Waiting to see you again,
But you're never there.

You, my friend, were an angel
Who saved me from everything I hate.

My Friend

My friend, I need you now.
Please take me by the hand.
Stand by me in my hour of need,
Take time to understand.

Take my hand, dear friend,
And lead me from this place.
Chase away my doubts and fears,
Wipe the tears upon my face.

Friend, I cannot stand alone.
I need your hand to hold,
The warmth of your gentle touch
In my world that's so cold.

Please be a friend to me
And hold me day by day
Because with your hand in mine,
I know we'll find the way. 

Reality

With life comes obstacles, 

Seemingly setting you up to fail.

With life comes strength, 

Leading you through, reaching extraordinary peaks.

With life comes determination, 

To heal completely, showing undamaged skin.

With life comes righteousness, 

Showing you the path which leads to Him.

With life comes true success, 

Only pausing for character-building obstacles

Meant to shape your life

The 

way

 it

 always 

should 

have 

been.

A Never-Ending Fire

A thing too perfect to be remembered;
A life too short is quickly forgotten.
Or possibly held on to for too long.

Blinded by light or black cloth -
She can no longer see the world around her,
Taken from here.

Too much longing: They wait
But they will never know why she left.

From very far or very close -
You can see all she left behind.

As if putting arms into fire,
It stings to see her gone.
Knowing she hurt so badly.

Any point of a circle is it's start,
Her life is never-ending.
She leaves us with words, sounds
Not forgotten.

In a room in which nothing has moved,
Hasn't been touched.
It has an eerie feeling, although almost calming.

I look back one last time saying my goodbyes
And I know I am free.
