Daily I see her walk by with the world on her shoulders, pretending as if she is as light as Swan feathers that gently pass by in the cool wind. Her hair in the breeze and a smile on her face that only God could sculpt. Pulling on her dress and flattening out the creases, she is ready again to face the possibility of rejection that has plagued her for the last few months. Can you see her? Sometimes she just wants to know if anyone is there. She keeps this this locked deep into her heart, and she has given up on the daisies and lillies filled dreams of her youth and settled for grit with burnt down picket fences, but it wasn't always this way, she dreamt of being someone's wife, and was, and they failed...... Miserably. So at night she crys and screams to the mirror that sits in front of her, what can I offer you?!! Or what can you offer me? Do you see me? I mean the part of me that no one sees. Without the mask or facade, do you like me? Because I am insecure. Being naked in front of you is not ideal because no one knows this part of me. But I see her, I understand her, I love her, because she is me.

Searching for wisdom in a sea of liesI have been trying to find myself. Trying to crack open the codes of my being that I can hardly understand. I have not located her yet. I have been awakened to loss I am confused I am angry I drifted across seas And still did not find myself I meditated at the holiest temples But still cannot trust myself I am a being that I cannot understand I have been lost for some time now I've drifted across naked planets to see what loneliness looks like in physical form I've kissed stars that never caught my name I've trapped myself into my own prison of a body Placed a semi-automatic gun around my form I've dared a bi**h to try me Who am I becoming? I do not know myself At times I feel so alone and confined So I drift away from this land and into my thoughts I tell no one I am solitary I don't want to be ... |

Before you ask me to cheatI could never be with you. Because I am not finished with him, and the sin nature in me will jump to you and make you feel exactly what he felt, so I could never be with you. I can’t hold on to you because it is not fair for you to fall, because that desire in me that I have for you, I will have for another man, when I am annoyed and angry with you. And when I am done wringing you out like a used wash rag I will empty you into my dirty linen basket full of broken hearts of the men before you, and the only thing that you will hear is an empty apology from a stone faced, cold hearted woman who is confused as all hell. So next time think about this before you ask me to cheat. I could never be with you because my sin nature wants whatever man crosses my path when I am hurt by you, or not….maybe I just got bored and I need something new in my life, and just like the last man before you I will leave you with nothing but a pile of ashes and broken pieces of your heart. So you... |
