I’m all but gone, theoretically
It sunk in, ever so slowly
I thought I had a chance
With you, at something more
Something brand new
We both said we’re looking for
After all this time, of waiting
But you weren’t really listening
To anything I said I needed
But truth be told I was wrong
You were hedging your bets
So it seems I can’t compete
With something, I’m not
I wasn't at all desperate
Just simply me, trusting my faith
I told you the truth, exposed myself
Let you inside my silence
And now, there no music playing
So let the chips fall- where they may
I’ve foolishly discovered
I wasn’t in the game, after all
Ignoring me, turn silent
Surprise, surprise, the surprise is on me
There no room in your life, in reality
When there no room in your mind
For something, so different, so strange
Like the failings you’ve lived
Trying to make normal but couldn’t
Even failed hero’s cry
Lose my number, lose my face
Lose my name, give me the blame
And leave me, where I’ve always been
Far from the chance of romance
In your arms, your heart, your whispers
I’m just a gift- that's unneeded
Until you’re lonely or feeling jaded
Had there been a chance, we’d be having
A different conversation… face to face

Ascribe
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

“I’m just a gift- that’s unneeded”…. Yeah right, wait till Ben reads this. LOL.
But just love the flow of words…and how beautifully sombre the atmosphere becomes…
Stay blessed 💐❤️
