Tension

The tension that used to follow me like a shadow has disappeared
And all of the words that I had feared
Every minute of every day
Fell at my feet and turned to dust and the wind carried them away
Swirling amongst the gentle breeze that used to push me around
Something that was once so ugly and twisted is beginning to astound
Me with it's beauty and its grace as it caressed my cheek
Wiped the tear from my eye, made me weak
At the knees, the pressure on my chest drifted off of me and crashed to the ground
Like broken glass, but it didn't cut me this time, I simply looked down
And saw that it reflected a new beginning, a different perspective
A step in the right direction, giving me a new motive
To breathe easy, to let go of all the secrets that I have kept locked inside
For all of these years, waiting for refuge for fresh insight
On life, I think I found it, I think I am doing something that will help me
Get better, help me be happy with myself and my life, because you see
You have given me the wings to fly
Like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly
Something so ugly and slow to evolve, emerges something flawlessly beautiful
I am sending away my coccoon like a message in a bottle
A token for someone else to discover, disect, and maybe help them to uncover
The mysteries that lie in all of our pasts as we move forward and become better
Human beings, we are all human, we make mistakes, but we learn
I am letting the breeze carry mine away, to float on and never return

All my life.

I could write a million words I could bring the ink To this paper I could type until my fingers bleed But nothing will say what you mean to me And I have written about other girls Before But none have stirred my soul like you do None have made me want to dance And sing And play like a child And recklessly desperately try so hard to be near you I can hear you in my dreams Telling me you want me Whispering Humming In my ear A thousand times I've dreamt of what it would be like To be yours I've let hours waste away Thinking about your hands in my hair Twisting curls around your fingers Getting lost in the oceans in my eyes The music in your voice is a reprise I could listen to all my life.

"Big Skinny"

You stole my heart with a smile, and you broke it with a trigger pull You seemed so put together, but you really had your hands full Never feeling good enough, never living up to expectations You thought that you were failing, when all you needed was some patience And I wish that I had had that talk with you, where we share our secrets Instead of them weighing down on you, you could trust me to keep it You ask me where my scars are from, and I ask you why you want to leave Why you’re tired of being here with us, why your heart is on your sleeve You gave so much to us and maybe you took too much from yourself You, ever longing to fulfill a purpose greater than yourself I wish that there had been a better solution for you other than waiting Waiting for something better to happen, instead of looking to John 3:16 If it was eternal life you desired, then eternal life you shall get For you are the closest to any angel that I have ever met And I miss yo...

Crows feet.

I hope I give you crows feet From smiling Too often I hope that when our eyes meet Your knees go weak And your body grows heavy Because you mesmerize me The way you talk The way you walk The way you brush my body When you stand beside me To let me know you want to touch me The way you smile at me subtly In a room full of people I am the one That you look at like that And every time you turn your back I will follow I will swallow All my fear Just to be near You and your heart beating Because it feels like I’m cheating Fate If I don’t give in to the way You move me And I don’t even know if destiny Is real but I know this feeling is And it’s just too strong to dismiss
