A part of me...

Please take away my longing 

in the abyss of the dark night 

Please take away my hunger 

and give me that sweet delight 

I have all these cravings

and need to get them out 

I’m drowning with desire

and yearn to play about 

I want to calm my fire

I need to feel some touch

I dream of what you taste like

I think about it too much 

Exploring all these feelings

that are so deep inside 

I feel so lost and helpless 

I hate to be denied

What’s the point of feeling 

if you don’t get to feel it all

What’s the point of loving 

if it keeps you tight in a ball 

I must let out my darkness 

I want its warm embrace 

I’m aching for its comfort 

I know I must make space … 

Grief is a beast

Grief is a beast

that doesn't have a heart.

It pushes and pulls you

and tears you apart.

the sorrow, the numbness

the constant heartache

that demon will find you

and leave you awake

It slips in and takes you

it gets in your bones

It creeps in your ear

then it wanders and roams

I'm lost in it's darkness

and can't find my way

If I stay here to long

I will surely decay

secrets

I think I have a secret,

at least it has felt that way.

So much happening on the inside,

I can't keep it all at bay.

A clash of joy and sorrow,

grief that sneaks up too,

a new outlook for tomorrow

and a love that I never knew

Nothing is forever,

that I sure do know

For now our world is different

and I will bask in the afterglow
