Peace to flow over me
Peace to calm my storms
Peace to hold me tight
And peace to fill my poems
Grace to keep me warm
Grace to heal my pain
Grace to fill my need
Grace to shine through rain
Joy to bring a smile
Joy to honor me
Joy to hold my hand
And keep me company
Joy, grace and peace
Intertwined to deliver us
Into liberty
The thing with addiction is that
Without the boost to prop up
And the after effects
Stealing head space
Life is a daily grind
Boredom stares in the face
Resentment of a life
Without the thrill –
Hopeless
I
how long will it take?
to become whole again.
for the pain to fade.
for a heart to heal.
how long will it take?
before all hoping ends.
that we could still be.
how long will it take?
for butterflies to die
I know, I know, I know
That after my cravings have passed
That after your sweet divine kisses have faded
That after I no longer ache for you
Every single minute of every single day
That after I have no more words to write
After all this is past
I won’t want you
Anymore
we’ll just have to reset expectations
while you are still alive
while you still breath and live and smile
i crave you
it is over
shut it down.
I’ll crawl on my knees to get relief
A drop of water to relieve my aching thirst
I’ll walk, I’ll run, I will swim
I will meet you where you are
A touch of your flesh
Is what I need
My love was wasted
With our first kiss
My love was wasted
With the very next
My love was wasted
Through all my tears
Through all your smiles
And all your charms
My love was wasted
Spent at your feet
You walked over it all –
A wasted love
It’s only when we are low, that we can rise again.
I tried to protect myself but in the process I thrust myself into an abyss and my cries now go unheard.
