Poetry of Our Souls

Told You So

2007-08-20T23:20:00.000-04:00

Do our own thing thats what we want
and this, to every one else we flaunt,
but the way we are, the way we were,
they all told us but we never heard.

Or maybe we just ignored what we couldnt stand,
the way they told us from what we were banned.
We said that they just didnt understand.
They dont know about the things we've planned.

We try to do what our heart desires,
our dreams they push us, they start the fires,
that drive us away from the words they said.
Those things meant to help turned us off instead.

After the fall, our hearts seem to break.
we wonder why after all we had at stake,
life throws us a turn from which we cant shake,
maybe we shouldnt have been so fake.

Had we listened, we think how different it'd have been,
that instead of tools we had real friends.
The people we use, they will not forget,
the way that we caught them like fish in a net.

If our hearts would not have been so cold,
and we'd heard what we'd been told,
and if we weren't so selfishly bold,
they would't have said "I told you so".

not really a poem....

2007-08-01T01:15:00.000-04:00

I know that this isnt a poem and I know no one will read it but I thought it was good. so....

To every guy that's said, "You're beautiful."To every guy that was never too busy to drive across town(or across the state) to see her.To every guy that gives flowers and a card when she is sick.To every guy who has given her flowers just because.To every guy that said he would die for her.To every guy that really would.To every guy that did what she wanted to do.To every guy that cried in front of her.To every guy that she cried in front of.To every guy that holds hands with her.To every guy that kisses her with meaning.To every guy that hugs her when she's sad.To every guy that hugs her for no reason at all.To every guy who would give their jacket up for her.To every guy that calls to make sure she got home safe.To every guy that would sit and wait for her for hoursjust to see her for ten minutes or 10 seconds.To every guy that would give his seat up.To every guy that just wants to cuddle.To every guy that reassured her that she was beautifulno matter what.To every guy who told his secrets to her.To every guy that tried to show how much he caredthrough every word and every breath.To every guy that thought maybe this could be the one.To every guy that believed in her dreams.To every guy that would have done anythingso she could achieve them.To every guy that never laughed at herwhen she told him her dreams.To every guy that walked her to her car.To every guy that walked her to her door when he took her home.To every guy that meant every word he ever said to her.To every guy who sang her a song, even if he thought he sounded bad.To every guy that gave his heart.To every guy who prays that she is happy even if you are not with her....This one bulletin is for you...Not many girls appreciate nice guys anymore...And because of this, there are not many left out there...if you have a good thing, hold onto it like theres no tomarrow. and guys: if you're not like this, try to be this person because you should be willing to be something more than ordinary. Be someone, not that people just realize when you're not around, but the kind that people miss when you're not. If she means that much to you, be the kind of guy that she deserves. thats it.

about time

2007-02-22T22:38:00.000-05:00

hello everyone I know its about time.
I finally came back and wrote you this ryme.
I am sorry its been so long that ive typed,
so here it is on this lovely thursday night
I know you've been wondering where I've been,
well I'm not too sure, I'm stuck in a spin.
Since I've been spinning it seems you see,
the only person on my mind has been... me.
"He's been selfish" you think, and yes it's true.
well thats something I intend to put an end to.
I'm sorry I've not posted or called.
I would like to blame it on that job at the mall :)
But now I've sometime to spend with you.
And I'd like to see how you're doing too.
I think we can keep this blog afloat,
though it'll be hard with hole in the boat.
So grab a bucket and you can help throw
the water out that is sinking this "poetry of our soul".

sorry it's been a while guys... jAkE

The weight of Reality

2007-01-14T19:32:00.000-05:00

Soon comes that day when I'm on my own
Away from the shield, the warmth of home
Faces now ingrained in my mind won't stay
Each face, each voice will pass away
Every memory and moment held so high
Minutes I am given will no longer be mine
Time and freedom now constrained with weight
A future so foriegn- I don't want to relate

Heer Me Oh Lucifer

2006-12-27T21:03:00.000-05:00

when will you drop your weapons?

as the children of the world cry out peace,

why do you sow their lips shut?

Yes, thats right I said it, peace.

why do you lick the wounds of the fallen with your acid tongue?

is it a joy that you seek?

Here me out, father of lies,

I know you can read this,

and I know I am not much of a challenge,

But my daddy is

He will slaghter you in the end as you have done to my brothers

His mercy is everlasting, yes, but you will not recieve it,

I feel for you Deceiver, for your fate is as grave as your fire is hot

But why do you bind yourself with your carnalities and monstosaties?

Is it too hard to accept your fate?

Or is it more fun to kill the innocent as you suck on their entrails?

You make me sick

a liittle gruesome yes... but think about what I'm saying... yes, just think.

gossiper

2006-12-18T11:48:00.000-05:00

when it's all over, will you be glad?
will you be happy you treated people bad?

will you really be surprised that when you're in need,
no one jumps to help you. no one seems to heed.

your calling for someone but no one is there.
they seem to ignore you, this cant be fair!

remember the people you left in the dirt.
the way you treated them, no one deserves.

I know how you feel. you feed on their hearts.
You feel like you're better. thats how it starts.
I'm talking to you backstabbing backbitter.
You gossiping people that have no remorse.
you think they cant hear you? or they dont have friends?
That tell them whats being said when they're not there?
shame on you people that talk behind backs,
that flab your pie holes without holding back.
Get over yourself! you're not all that bad.
In fact you're misserable. I think its sad.
that all you have to make yourself feel good,
is others pain. I feel sorry for you.
It would drive me insane.
If all I did was say things,
that hurt someone else,
I would start taking a look at myself.

Mortal Conflict

2006-12-07T19:58:00.000-05:00

Written 7-13-06

Why do I do the things I do
Thinking I’m always done and through
Realizing changes that need to be made
Watching them fall, crumble and fade
Regretting the thought to understand
Knowing Ill fall with nowhere to land
With steps not taken and words left behind
Loathing this war between my heart & my mind

Written 12-7-06

Once in deep darkness without any light
Hopeless and weak, feeling anger and spite
Standing here now, so much more I can see
Holding onto Him; its no longer just me
His promise gives comfort; yes I may fall
I can't be perfect, I'll never please all
But I'll never stop growing, or be without truth
As long as Hes with me in all that I do

Just to let u know

2006-10-30T21:11:00.000-05:00

I Love You
I never really knew you

You were just another friend

But when I got to know you,

I let my heart unbend.

I couldn't help past memories

that would only make me cry

I had to forget my past

and give life another try

So I've fallen in love with you

and I'll never let you go

I love you more than anyone

I just had to let you know

And if you ever wonder why

I know exactly what I'll say

"Christ gave me love through life his own

So that life is even better every single day"

I'll be loving you

each and every day

My feelings for you will never change

Just know my feelings are true

Just remember one thing...

I Love You!

2006-10-03T21:39:00.000-04:00

when I need people most... they leave. Why? Because Im the worst of the curse. ~Love of a s. and g.

not again

2006-09-10T17:44:00.000-04:00

It's happened again
the thought again
of having lost the one I love again
is too hard to bear. the feelings we shared are now gone again

I tried again
to turn this around again
but no reply comes and no sound again.
a lifetime I wish I had to comply with the things you want me to do again.

I died again.
you said it was real again.
I belived you, I trusted again.
But now I have found that I do not have time to play these games you play again.

I loved again.
The pain in my heart you stirred up again.
you left me. I should have known again.
I hope you're happy with whoever you find, cause I dont think I can wait round again.

Remember again.
The smile on your face I can't see again.
It haunts like the stories I'll never read again.
The time passed so fast I thought that would last and now I'm on my own again.

This time again.
and now I must go but I want you to know that I never felt dead til I knew you would leave me with thought in my head of future and dreams, that it's not what it seems when you told me it's real and it was so sureal, that I lost sight of what I thought might make you be mine til the end of time, so it failed again.
Here I am again. Cold and dark again.
Goodbye again.

I love you Susie. Don't forget me.

A lifetime written in 5 minutes

2006-09-10T12:35:00.000-04:00

when everyone leaves you behind,

And there's no one left to find.

When everyone just decides to quit,

And all you can do is cry and sit...

He'll be there.

///

When everything you loved is lost,

And there's nothing left for the cost.

When everything you had is now gone away,

And all you can do is cry and lay...

He'll be there.

///

When everyday is a fight not to just die,

And there's no time left to sigh,

When everyday you ask why you still exist,

And all you can do is cry and pound your fist...

GOD WILL ALWAYS BE THERE.

The emotion of missing you

2006-09-03T17:04:00.000-04:00

Tonight I am without you.
Dreams of you and your warmth,
make my reality so cold.
I can see your face,
and you reaching out to me.
Can you see me smiling back?
My mind aches for your grace.
My mind runs in circles,
waiting to hear your voice.
When I breathe,
I pray that the air is of you.
If I lose you while you are gone,
I will be lost.
As I write this,
please think of me.
Think of me every moment, as I of you.
Forever, I am missing you... always.

2006-08-21T10:22:00.000-04:00

People listen, hear my speech.
Don't be destracted by the stuff within reach.
The end is what we drive for, the end of the race.
Don't listen to the ones that will slow our pace.
The thing we look for isn't the clothes,
it isn't the concerts people see in droves.
It's the love of the Master that drives us on.
He will help us be strong till the race is done.
This world is NOT my home! I'm just passing through.
I wish that all the world could go with me too.
But they can if only we tell them you see,
I can't do it alone, at least God is with me.
People will talk about how we dress funny,
but when THEY die they won't be taking they're money.
But I will take with me the thing that I need.
And I'll be going fast, as on a valiant steed.
Don't be a stumbling block, don't slow us down.
We won't stop or slow, we're looking for a crown.
Effortlessly God will help us out,
of all of the hopelessness, the doubt.
People tell others this thing.
About the one who died even though he was King.

The Last Time...

2006-08-20T21:19:00.000-04:00

Headlights in the distance.
She's headed out for one last chance.
Doing what she started.
She gives him one last glance.
She disappears into the darkened night.
Trying to fight.
All her selfless love for him.
Driving away will help defend.
This memory controlling every moment lived.
She takes a breath in.
Hoping her every brokeness will somehow mend.
She questions her thoughts.
As she drives into a bend in the road.
Suddenly looks up and loses control.
Blackened night.
Mixed into a blurr of lights.
Twisted metal.
Trying to save her with all of their might.
Unconsciously she drifts away.
Breathing is slow and she's fading.
Her beautiful soul is unwinding.
To be let free.
To somewhere not seen.
The last time.
That she drove away out of sight.
The very last of their fights.
The very last of the stars being bright.
There she goes.
Say goodbye.
Chances are that you might not make it.
In time to see.
Her beautiful soul alive in me.

This was written about not getting a second chance
to tell people before they left how I felt. RIP

Christian Hedonist

2006-08-20T11:01:00.000-04:00

what are we but today
each passing breath
rushing from our lungs
incessantly, no rest

what am I but a fool
to ever hope to teach
for I can barely live life
let alone stand, preach

what are we but the moment
in which the world stands still
whether it is in her arms
or leaning on the windowsill

I'm a hedonist and a christian too
pain and joy God gives impartially
pain is a burden to bear, become stronger
joy is the answer to pain's mortality

For pain alone is meaningless
without a higher aim, a target to be acquired
Joy is the purpose in all the pain
Desire for joy and you shall never grow tired

Joy is the effervescent beauty of spring
to understand the thunderstorm
the power and might that it suddenly brings

Joy is the answer in trouble or in pain
Christ died to give us a reason to rejoice
and unite ,until he brings his kingdom in

If pain and sorrow come to you
learn to live and rejoice
hedonist's for Christ we are
show him in life, voice

That you still remember
when he died for you
for we are a happy few
who know this truth

Joy is why I live today
Joy in Christ to find
to live for nothing save that happiness
rejoicing state of mind

What are we but today
each passing breath
rushing from our lungs
incessantly no rest

Here

2006-08-13T21:08:00.000-04:00

No longer trapped in lost words
With nothing to say
Fighting against things
That are sent my way
Focused on confusion
Without a way out
Resting fully on myself
Sinking in doubt
Now seen so clearly
From where I now stand
Where secrets are unraveled
Taken from my own hands
To the front of the stage
Where everyone can see
That I wasn’t alone
And will never be

Since You...

2006-08-13T15:54:00.000-04:00

Do you lie awake at night.
Thinking about what is right.
Do you lie awake in the middle of the day.
Wishing everything would go away.
Because I do too.
I'm trying to stand.
But the world's upside down.
Everythings against me.
& I'm spinning around.
Since you decided to break my heart.
I've been slowly falling apart.
Since you decided not to care.
I expect you not to be there.
Spare me with your advice.
It's useless now.
I can't trust a liar, who I use to trust somehow.
As your seeing someone new.
Think of me and I'll think of you.
Remember everything we had.
& as you look back at your past.
It was I who tried to get it back.
Since you decided to walk away.
Remember I was the one who stayed.
Since you decided it wouldn't last.
Remember I was the one good thing in all of the bad.
Since you.
I'll never be the same.

2006-08-12T10:05:00.000-04:00

pray hard,

pray always,

pray willingly,

heart words

2006-08-07T14:43:00.000-04:00

It's been a while,

Since I've seen your face,

Oh how I miss your heavenly grace.
I think of you everyday,

So I'm taking time to say.

You are the Angel of my eyes,

You are the sunshine of my sky.
You never once on me wanted to quit

No matter how hard it would get.

So in my heart, that's where you stay.

I love you rebecca

Every... single... day.

The Sunset...

2006-07-30T14:49:00.000-04:00

Now you're just another sunset to me.
Sometimes beautiful, sometimes unseen.
& you fade so fast, all this time I wish you would last.
You're not the last sunset I will see.
But you're everything I wanted the sunset to be.
& I'm sorry that this won't be the last sunset I will see.

For the first time in my life.
I want to experience the sunrise.
Is it all that I want?
Or will it never be enough?
I want to feel the morning light.
To reach a new height.
& finally, for once in my life, be alright.

Because the light is fading.
& I'm still waiting.
At the edge of this town.
For someone to say.
That I'll be ok.
But the beauty is gone.
& I'm left here all alone.
It's dark and it's cold.
There's nothing left here anymore.

For the first time in my life.
I want to experience the sunrise.
Is it all that I want?
Or will it never be enough?
I want to feel the morning light.
To reach a new height.
& finally, for once in my life, be alright.

& you left me crying.
As you drove off into the night.
You don't know what I'm going through.
You don't even care enough to realize what you're puting me through.
& driving off that night.
Will never make things alright.

Because...
Now you're just another sunset to me.
Sometimes beautiful, but somtimes unseen.
& it happened so fast.
That you, my sunset, didn't last.
& you won't be the last sunset I see.
But you happened to be everything I wanted this sunset to be.

For the first time in my life.
I want to experience the sunrise.
& finally, for once in my life, be alright.

emotional breakthrough

2006-07-26T13:26:00.000-04:00

I wish I could truly express my feeling,

Find the word for when my heart your stealing,

Tell you how constantly my heart your healing,

But I can't.

///

I wish I could explain the way I feel inside,

Find the word when in you I confide,

Tell you how honestly my thoughts I try to hide,

But its hard.

///

I wish you would stay and never leave,

I found the word my mind needs to cleave,

I'm telling you what I know you'll recieve,

I love you.

2006-07-25T22:12:00.000-04:00

Who am I in this shell of skin?
All my faults, and my failiers, and my secrets within?
Even I don't know me, who do I see,
When I look in the mirror I think "that can't be me."
Because what I see is different from others,
I see what I've hidden from my sisters and brothers.
The lies I've told, though of them I'm not proud,
I see every one in the wrinkles of my brow.
The years pass so quickly, and with them I change.
What has been happening in this day and age?
But the wrinkles do not show on he outside,
from everyone around me, they're easy to hide.
So don't make them worse, don't stay on this path.
Someone else you will see in the looking glass.

Yours

2006-07-23T21:58:00.000-04:00

You, with your hand outstretched,
Finger on the key.
This lock, that you released,
Is opening, but isn’t free.
And I hope that you can see,
How it beats inside of me.
Instead of putting fear aside,
I wanna run, I want to hide.
I am vulnerably yours.

She who is wanting me
Who’s touch can make me cry.
I can only understand
By never asking her why.
Hear the contradictions fly.
And as hard as I may try
Every truth becomes a lie
In the ache of her reply.

I am passionately
Yours.
And the saddest eyes are
Yours
And the softest skin is
Yours
And the hope I borrow
Yours

So won’t you let me in I’m yours
All that I begin is yours
Every prize I win is yours
At your feet again I’m yours
All I am is yours

All I am is wanting you
I’ve fallen down and I cant seem to come to
If I should die before I wake,
I comment my soul to this ache.

Up above the world so high
Where the water tends to meet the sky.
She’s all I’m after by the toe.
And I won’t let go.
And I wanted you to know
That if you reap what you would sow,
I would take it blow by blow
All I am is
Yours
And the saddest eyes are
Yours
And the softest skin is
Yours
And the hope I borrow
Yours

So won’t you let me in I’m yours
All that I begin is yours
Every prize I win is yours
At your feet again I’m yours
All I am is yours

Lyrics courtesy of Blues Traveler "Yours"

Don't...

2006-07-13T23:05:00.000-04:00

Close your eyes
Let the fear pass
Everything to lose
Nothing that will last
Thoughts overtake your mind
Don't let it happen this time
Save yourself the pain
He is the one to blame
Your hands begin to shake
Don't let him make
You like all the rest
You are not a toy
& he is just some boy
Who will save you
From this defining situation
Don't let him treat you
Like you don't matter
That you are some girl
Here for the summer
Times like these are when you miss
That safe, loving kiss
From someone you love
& that loves you back
Not from one who lacks
Feeling for your mind & soul
Who doesn't want to know
You inside and out
Doubt
It is what loses hope
That you will ever know
Someone like him
That would've gone to the moon and back again
Maybe again you will find
A person who loves you for your mind
& is amazed by your soul
Maybe then your heart will be full
Once again.

Look to the Good, Look to the Good

2006-07-11T10:43:00.001-04:00

The times we spend on the negative side,

Not understanding that we need to look to the good as a guide.

No more only thinking on the dark parts of our soul,

Because when we do we have to pay the cost, the toll.

We need to look to how God has blessed and not cursed,

Think about all the things he's done first.

I'm not saying completely forget about all your worries and woes,

But he knows and shows that we can keep going with the good memories,

The things that help us to see, and always be, fuller than what's between the sky and the sea,

Look to the Good, Look to the Good, be the real you and I'll be the real me...

Who is She?

2006-07-10T17:25:00.000-04:00

Who are you that I see?
She who did wrong.
Who goes beyond
Everything you ever were
What has become of the girl
I once knew
Because she is not you
She had passion and grace
But that look on your face
Tells me you are not she
The one this girl use to be
The laughter has faded
& feeling is numb
She wants to feel something
But it cannot be done
Speak to her
Tell her lies
As everything in her suddenly dies
Listen to her
Before thoughts overtake words
There's nothing left of her
It's all grey
Hardly anything at all to say
She's not herself
She's transforming into who they want
Comfort is still not found
Through it all she crawls
Because fear is what holds her down
The sound as people are talking all around
It's not heard
As she wakes at the beginning of her day
She thinks if only her mistakes
Could be taken away
Maybe it all could be different
Somehow she misses it
Her eyes do not show the life
The way it use to be
She wants to drive all night
& pleads to be free
From something in her life that cannot be seen
She has asked for forgiveness
But why won't it leave her mind
Show her a sign
Of what you want
Something that could be enough
To take away the hurt and pain
Who's to blame?
She isn't the same
Save her from this mess
She can't have anything less
You are the one that made
Her believe
That she could achieve
& feel everything
The one who danced with her in the rain
The one who would act insane
She used to care
She used to be there
For the ones she loved
But not anymore
She just doesn't seem to care
She's all used up
Nothing seems to be enough
Give her emotions back
Let her hear the thunder
What is this spell that she is under?
Who are you?
You shattered piece of glass
Why can't anything good last
Who is this lonely, sad girl?
That nobody wants around
Figure it out
They don't care about you
They make you act the way
That you don't want to
She thinks it's fun
Once the fun has begun
But after it all
She falls
Into a perilous guilt trap
Somehow it doesn't feel right
Maybe your up-tight
No wait, its not right
Then why does she feel comfort
In things that are not
Things that make her more lonely
Then ever before seen
It's cold and she shivers
Lost in lonely dreams
Hold her hand
Make her understand
Feel her pain
Don't leave her side ever again
She can't take the hurt
She hasn't been here
& she can't get back
The mistakes are clawing at the skin
You have witnessed a change of heart
& this is the part
Where it all fades to black
She can't change her life
She can't change where she's at
Nothing is there to save her
As she falls on her knees
She can't talk
Because the world echos
As she begins to fold
The pathetic state she has sold
Herself to
What is left?
Of the mess this girl is
Lifeless is what gives
The greyness to her skin
Save her from doing bad
In the comfort of sin
She's lost it
It's all gone
She doesn't want this
Life is not a game
There's a purpose
& who is to blame
Ourselves...for not trusting the truth
The root.
Of what this life is all about
Maybe doubt
Has overidden her mind
You sigh
She sighs
Both beats of the heart start to die
What a tragic disaster
If only they could come together
& go through it
They might come out
Without any doubt
& happiness could find
A true place in their minds & hearts
That they both could find new starts
Without the ways of the world
Because there is no comfort found
Only hearts being drowned
No sound
Save her
She can save you
Don't let it go on
When you know what to do
Her mind can't take anymore thoughts
Thinking has bruised her soul
She can't take anymore cliche monologues
She's cold and it's dark
Light the match
To give life a new start
This is not the end
It is only a part
Who is this lonely girl I see?
& why is she staring
Right at me?

The reign of the wash

2006-07-08T14:52:00.000-04:00

Soggy hands grip the moist cloth tight,

As the two girls in the back slack-off and start to fight.

Moist shorts and cut-off T-shirts,

Soapy cars and couples that flirt.

Yelling loudly at the cars passing by,

Screaming at the old lady's who don't know where they are or why...

The sun flaming down leaving tans and sunburns as he drifts about,

Another car passes leaving the washers in doubt...

But have no fear, the parents are here!!!

They come to give us hope that the drunk will donate instead of buying beer!!!

And now the harsh wet day has come to a close,

You strip of the t-shirt and shorts and say "Couldn't wait to get off those!!!"

This poem was stupidly dedicated to all who came to the carwash on Saturday, the 8th of July, 2006. May ye all be remembered for your stupidity, and the ability to eat lots of cici's pizza. Thank you, and good day.

YOUR "art"

2006-07-06T23:17:00.000-04:00

"What do you think?", he shows me his work.
"I think it looks fine if you're in the dark".

Whether it pleases your eye, he doesn't care.
for him alone is why it's really there.

The art is not a scribble, an ink blot,
just a smear, a tittle, or dot.

Art is an interpretation of one's self.
not just a canvas to be laid on a shelf.

Express yourself! You know how.
though it may not get a "cool" or a "wow".

You're not in it for others anyway,
so why try to impress them? Tell them to go away.

MY he"art" IS a pencil, a brush, and a pad,
but if you can't draw, please don't be sad.

The word "art" does not mean a masterpiece,
you musn't collect the world's amenities.

Don't wait for the knock, just open the door.
I think you will like what life has in store.

It whatever way you express your heart,
the way you live, YOUR self, this defines "art".

Forgiveness is givin,

from the way We've been livin,

and now he reigns inside us.

Words

2006-07-05T23:29:00.000-04:00

The things we say, the letters, the words,
are not the things we mean inside.
We never say the things we feel,
what we REALLY feel, we can't describe.

In our minds, we go through a scheme,
to find our inner vocabulary.
But no one can see what is in our souls,
what’s in our mind's eye, no one knows.
So think with your mind, before your mouth,
you may be more pleased by what comes out.

The things we say, the language, the terms,
will only destroy you if uttered with haste.
Think before you speak, is what they say,
it will improve your grammatical taste.

Long gone

2006-07-05T19:25:00.000-04:00

When it hurts so bad,

why does it feel so good?

I wish this all made sense,

I wish I understood.

Not having you here with me is tearing me up inside,

but I can't stop thinking about you no matter how hard I try.

/////////////////////////////////////////

You know how I feel about you,

and I know I want to spend the rest of my life with you,

but it's so hard to do when I can't even be next to you.

Why does it gotta be so complicated?

//////////////////////////////////////////

Loving you feels so right,

but at the same time,

knowing I can't have you keeps me awake at night.

I just want this to be simple,

I just want you here with me.

///////////////////////////////////////////////

to look into your eyes,

to feel the warmth off your smiling face...

then I'd truly be happy.

Right now this distance between us is out of our control,

but I'm still hoping one day soon,

I'll get what I'm wishing for.

The Beginning of This Enterprise

2006-07-05T16:50:00.000-04:00

Embarking on our endeavor,
we'll try to do this together.
Let's keep it clean,
and say nothing mean,
and I'm sure God will curse this blog never.

2006-07-04T17:16:00.000-04:00

Oh LORD please help me now,
I know you can somehow.
Everything is slowly starting to rumble,
As I feel my soul start to crumble.
//////////////////////////////////
Lord I need your strength to get me past,
I need you now because by myself I'll never last.
She's leaving me and I can do nothing to repel the pain,
My soul counts them as it sees my new stain.
////////////////////////////////////
Lord help me now not to break down and tear,
The "fearless" man has now gained a fear.
So Lord keep me going until she gets back,
Lord keep me going, and add to me what I now Lack... LOVE.

I will miss you Rebecca
