I stood there looking foolish
to maybe, only- me
while the rest of the world
went about playing the living
As you walked away in my silence
my heart was breaking inside
until the deafening sound
tore my soul- inside out
Beneath the sun and stars
snowflakes and the drizzling rain
we laid, engulfed in each others arms
All those dreams we spoke about
became dark thunders clouds
in all my tomorrow days
And I will barely survive them all
to prove I’m willing to endure for love
whatever it may take, as my proof
I- couldn’t have loved anyone
but you- that’s just my truth
And I know what it means now
that you’ve really moved on
Taking the sun and leaving me in fog
I’ll remain lost- in time and space
between the silence and yesterdays
Standing foolishly, just waiting…for you

Where flight became stalled
Because fear stood its ground
There- is where I- was reborn
Where I relearned my reality
As broken fragments of a self
Where I’ve seen the unveilings
Of time, truth, and Holy love
Where angels cried and wept
For my salvation and healing
And I- wept along with them
Where fire seared my mission
Forged into my soul as passion
A combatant for the wounded
Of humanities silenced…truths

This is beautiful, hauntingly so. It causes me to rebel, stomp my feet, raise my hands to the heavens as I shake them and declare, that this fate is not so. Something about that precipice between unconditional love and unconditional sorrow.
