i'm grateful for scraps
just a drop of your sweet love
a taste of honey
he can keep me hanging on as long as he likes
it’s sad to say
that nowadays
a smile
is more often
used
to hide depression
rather than
express
happiness.
I am not scared of death.
In fact, I find her attractive.
I like the thrill of being close to her.

I want her to hold me close.
I want her to be mine.
I want to be hers.

But my family wouldn’t approve of her.
And I love my family more,
Than I could ever love her.

So I keep my distance.
She’ll be mine someday,
She’ll be mine no matter what I say.
As I sat in church today,
Couldn’t find words to pray.
Because dear God—if You still hear.
Look down—we’re filled with fear.
You could change this. Couldn’t You?
Just one breath—or a spark or clue.
You are the reason why children still cry,
Why unarmed, hopeless people die.
And there still are wars down here,
Not enough reason for cheer.
I find it really hard to believe,
This is what You would wanna achieve.
Sorry to say, but that’s why,
I believe You are a very well-told lie.
I feel like believing God helps, but God doesn’t.
I’ve wanted you for so long
I wonder how my heart still beats
I think about the future fondly
You and I in loving embrace
But we have yet to even meet
The games you play you might regret
But like me there’s always another
I care deeply so I’m abused
I care deeply so I get used
I’m done
I wish you best
Nothing but fools gold to be found
Inside your chest
Healing doesn't come from
revisiting a wound

It comes from releasing it
