Closure...

I thank you for making me better
I thank you for making me stronger
Since we’ve parted and live separate lives
I dislike you no longer
In fact I never hated you
It was actually the opposite
I had deep profound love for you
Even through all of your shit
Now the tides have turned
We’re better off because of what we’ve learned
Doors are opening for you as they are for me
Now we can live our single lives unbroken and free
I hold a place in my heart for you and that will never go
You may not feel like that for me but I thought that you should know
I hope the best for you
I pray that everything you touch will blossom and grow fruit
Through your hard life you were a solider and deserve a salute
I found my happiness again and I must admit it was because I met you
So from my heart to yours, Good-bye, and good luck with all that you do

Taking The Chance

Fingers interlocked
We face eye to eye
He leans forward I fall back
He’s a take charge kind of guy
Our rhythm in sync, he speaks what I think
He’s my bestie, my partner, my lover, my rock
There’s a longing for his energy that grows and I pray it never stops
We know where we are, where we’ve been, and where we want to be
In my future there’s a path and with him it’s clearer to see
I know not to take for granted the difficult road in love
I expect there to be trials and tribulations, issues we know and others we may not think of
Putting it all on the line without needing a moment to think it through
At times can be a mistake but it doesn’t feel like that with you
I’m ready to dance through the years ahead
He satisfies me standing upright and as we dance in our bed

It's Time

He told me finally that he loved me
He grinned, turned away, looked to the sky, and sighed
I’d waited so long to hear those words
At the moment he said it I could see the weight lifting from his eyes
He’d carried the fear of hurt for so long
Having his heart broken before made him shun away from the idea of loving again
Now that the walls are crumbling I begin to have fears of my own
Can I give him what he needs?
Will I be the partner that he deserves?
Will I let him down?
It’s funny how we fight so hard to have someone love us but then we fear the love
I guess I’m not as ready as I thought I was
Though this moment has been long overdue
In that moment I shook my own fears and doubts
I gathered my past pains and threw them all out
I grinned, turned away, looked to the sky, and sighed
I told him that I loved him, and then I cried

Muddy Tracks

You’ve lied on people
You’ve lied on yourself
You think of only your needs
You care of nothing else
You’ve betrayed family and friends
You’ve brought such shame
To the people around it’s hurt but to you it’s a game
You smile while wearing a face of deceit
When it comes to making up a good excuse you don’t miss a beat
Now you say you’ve changed and want a new life
You didn’t do the work, you didn’t take advice
You’ve just changed because that’s what you’ve chosen to do
After all the lies and games I’m to just believe you
You stand before and I laugh, honestly facts are facts
You haven’t changed at all, oh yeah, and I can still see your muddy tracks

Just Be...

A fear of heart break
A fear of pain
A fear of being blinded by sunshine, yet relishing in the pouring rain
A fear to never be loved
A fear of never being able to love
A fear of breaking someone’s heart
A fear of tearing a life apart
The more you hold on to your fears you’ll never know how it feels to just be…
Be free to fall in love and it may not work out
Be free to face everything and take in every emotion
Be free to run through the sunshine
Be free to let someone love you
Be free to let yourself love
Be free to try and make the right decisions for someone else
It’s what you deserve, try to spoil yourself
Be free to live, learn, and understand
Stop holding your life in your hands while blocking access to your heart
How can you fail at love when you never start?

Broken Love

Even the broken deserve to be repaired
The crushed deserve to be put back together
The lost deserve to be shown the way
The bitter deserve to taste the sweetness of happiness
Just because you love someone that falls under one of these doesn’t mean that they deserve to stay there
If in your heart you can love, then love them
If you contain the patience, then work with them
It doesn’t mean that you forget your own happiness
It just means that you may need to sacrifice a piece of your heart to give them what they truly need
Not every mate comes to you ready to completely be for you
Broken love can be God’s way of seeing if you are really ready to have a love that will last forever

If

If for one moment in your life you want to smile, then smile
If for one moment in your life you want to laugh, then laugh
If for one moment in your life you want to dance, then dance
If for one moment in your life you want to cry, then cry
If for one moment in your life you want to die, then smile, laugh, dance or cry
