Passion After Fire

The letter says no longer needed

Help not required, did not fit the standard 

Coils run through the walls of stomach and the door sounds in my head

As if the next letter gonna be red

Hands full of aches, take to keyboard to ask you do you know the Lord?

Then realise the statements gone too deep

Have tongues been wagging to much female braggin' 

How did I take steps to land my foot here

I feel weight on my shoulder and with might refuse it refuse it to be because of what I was in their sight

Wrong fit or wrong shade?  I'll leave that to starlight

Inside I know that searching is having the strength to start again

Remove the prisms of mind to be open and free anti negativity

This day came yesterday and my balance was finally up

Is it her genes her smile, her Irish wit that kept me on top and floating

Like river fish or Rainbow trout gasping for air 

Was it his stead his steely gaze that got me fixated on a future 

A job with meaning 

A purposeful task 

And when I look around there are many others looking like me

So these days I laugh and laugh and laugh
