Drawing The Line

I have been known to stay awhile.
Walk around for days with no end,
but now I am running for now.
Looking for ways to say goodbye.
I speak with no tongue,
Because all my words are your ink.
Happiness doesn't write itself,
and pain comes without a doubt.
If I lose then what's the point?
I'm drowning just for a little while.
I have been known to close my eyes,
when the most important part is here.
I get scared that I might get scared,
and I'm tried of running from these fears.
There are the little things that come to my attention,
And these stains just won't scrub out.
I am looking away for the right reasons,
I wish that you could just see them.
I have been known to close my mouth,
so the dirty rotten words don't come out.
I could say that I don't like you,
but it would be hurting more then just me.
I have been known to give you my soul,
but it's sad I've sunken so low.
There are days when I have trouble breathing,
All I can do is fall to my knees.
These days are when I only see you.
I could hope that I would believe,
and I can wish that you would leave.
Then nothing would seem to be real.
I have been known to stay awhile,
but losing you was never part of my plan.
I just can't hold my reactions,
It's causing bad reflections,
and everyone else I am infecting.
That's why I must go back home.

The End Times?

You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains. (Matthew 24:6-8; Mark 13:7-8 NIV).Mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God -- having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them. (2 Timothy 3:1-5 NIV). But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare. (2 Peter 3:10 NIV). An...

Even On My Worst Days

My eyes are opened wide, And the world is falling to pieces, I feel like sealing my heart completely. The tears still drop towards the ceiling. I wish I could see your beautiful creation again, But everything is still upside down. It’s another fight and one more day on the ground. I can pray for heaven to come raining, But here on earth I am drowning. I can say all the right things, But be misheard by everyone. As I am being pushed out to sea, You’re still out there searching for me. The love you have always strengthens me. And so I step on some toes on my path, And I struggle to trust the people around me, So, I may be losing myself as well, But I know I can never lose your grace. My faith could never change, Even on my worst days.

Give It Up For You

Here I am caught in this dance, Spinning until I finally get my chance. I’ll put one foot forward, I’ll put one foot back, But until we move together, We will continue to lose each other. So here is my hand, I’ll open myself up wide, So you can forever live inside. Here I am searching for you. So here is my heart I pour it out, So here is my soul I’ll let it go. So here is my life I give it up for you. Here I am to finally lose myself, I know you could truly help. I’ll leave my burdens at the door, I’ll leave my trash at the altar, And I will live this life, The way you taught me. So In my final steps, Maybe our footing wasn’t perfect, Maybe our wording wasn’t all clean, But in the end you were forever here to love me. Here I am searching for you. So here is my heart I pour it all out, So here is my soul I’ll finally let it go. So here is my life I’ll forever give it up for you.
