I.
It isn't a long time,
really.
But when it becomes a
distance,
it hurts.
You whispered not to breathe each time we passed a cemetery.
But, now you're gone &
I'm coming to terms with
each
step
being
a
graveyard.
*pause* inhale *pause* how am i supposed to let go?
It hurt. And I don't mean because you're gone and we are no longer.

It hurts because it mattered.
It hurts because I know
I am no longer keeping
you happy, or healthy
or helping you grow

I wasn't upset because you need to move on.
Yes, I'm upset because I don't have you.
But mostly I'm just upset because you
meant the world to me,
and same for you,
but I broke your universe.
I was formed a son
within two graveyards.
A tombstone built from
damnation created
from the hands of anguish,
and a tombstone
created from hands
with two piercing holes in each.

I know this, i really do.
I believe this, i really do.  

But, solicit my feelings
to find a broken mirror
of questioned identity
within boundaries of
weakened hearts in
darkened paths.

Align my insanity
as a construct of loneliness.
Or that's what i want
to be thought of me.
Because in the back of my head,
i know it to be selfishness.

I know your light.
I can see it from miles away.
And I know it's good,
I know it's right.
But whenever i see it,
I just look the other way.

Oh God,

If you are the wind to my sails,
Am i taking a knife to them?
If you are the life behind my bones,
Do i seek it's purpose?

Or are my hands
Just digging my own grave.
Because anguish
Is my curse.

Oh savior,
Save me.
Just an honest evaluation with an honest need for Jesus.
you prayed to God
for a miracle every night.

i left.

i'm sorry it took so long
for Him to listen.
I let you in
I told you all of my sin
Even after
You wanted more
You promied from the start
This would never end
Each of us bending
Never braking
Always giving
Never taking
I fell in love
No faking
Every kiss
Sends my body shaking
She's breath taking
If history tends to repeat may our hearts still beat, our voices still be hear in a world without words.
