The broken sounds of your breath

as you remember his against your neck

Soon has you clawing at your chest

Leaving you choking on the pain and regret

You remember the anger in his eyes

The way you fell for the lies

And his charming handsome disguise

As he claimed you for his prize

The pain in your head makes you feel weak

How could you have ever been so meek

And now it's courage you seek

Everytime you hear the floorboards creak

He said he'd never let you go, You belonged to him.

You felt the remorse of a sinner although he was the sin.

How could you have been so naive to let him in.

Now you're left broken and the anxiety begins.

Your breath turns into butterflies and it flutters in your throat

You realise again, you'll never be able to cope

But deep inside of you, you search for the hope

That you know you need to grasp before you begin to choke.

How could another person leave you with this kind of despair

You remember the broken bones, the pulling of hair

Its flashbacks like these that prove the world as unfair

You were good and wholesome. You need to be repaired.

When the rose tinted glasses shattered, you could finally see

The bruises and scars that had come to be

But you still craved his love and allowed yourself to bleed

Now you're all alone and don't realise you're free.

Release the butterflies and let them fly away.

He was a disease and you're free to live another day.

Speak out loud and shout the words you need to say.

I know of the pain and for you I will pray.

Peacefully I smile, as I inherite visions of my future.

Knowing they reflect the opposite of my past.

I've lived through hell and yet I stand without a single burn upon my flesh.

For the blood of Christ, through faith has healed me of my wounds.

So I smile, for my future holds a reunion with my father.

No matter what oppsticals aline the path to my destiny.

I will continue to walk because I know I deserve what this world has very little to offer.

Happiness.

until

the stars have fallen

as fairy dust

and the moon is the sun

and you are dancing under

sunlight

t a n g l e d in moonlight

'til

the day bleeds into the night

'til

the night bleeds into the day

and you are blended in purples and blues

and me: in yellows and reds

'til

we are dancing under

moonlight tangled in sunlight

i will kiss you

in the closing act,

called: finally.

She casts her warm smile upon her children

The sleeping babes feel the tender embrace

Yawning, they unfurl, showing their faces

The neighbors feel the shift and awake

The elders renew with vigor

Slowly her family rises

We call it spring.

Until the stars go out

I've got to keep going.

Until the sky bruises black

I've got to keep running.

Until these clouds dry up to

a mere monotone gray,

I'll still be running

running away.

No final ending.

Just running into the finite distance

finally.

Until

I get done

Slowly

Dying.

Until

I get started

Living,

Finally.

Until then,

I’ll be waiting

For finally.

Until I could walk, I crawled. Until I could run, I walked. Until I could fly, I ran. This world flew by, until I could fly. Now it is frozen, until I decide what to find. It was once so much bigger. Now it is mapped and silenced. It grows no longer. Now, I can run, so I run past my problems. They were once so much smaller. Now, they only grow bigger. This world is utter chaos. Until I just walk, finally. I will simply walk, like I once did. Now, I will crawl, finally.
