Misunderstandings

You see anger,
when pain is what I feel.

You see standoffish,
when self defense is the goal.

Trusting those around me,
becomes harder as time passes.

The pain from relationships,
continuing to fill my heart.

You tricked me into believing,
believing this could be a safe space.

The veil of lies unravels,
causing me to see your real truth.

Mother Bear

The last thing you do after hibernation,
is poke the mother bear.

She spends the darkest months,
tending only to her cubs.

She fights the darkest nights,
warms the coldest days.

The hunters start to come,
to them it’s open season.

With the tags in hand,
it becomes their night.

The lives they will destroy,
become their greatest trophy.

No mother bear will go down without a fight,
protecting her cubs through the danger of the night.

For Hire

I’m sorry this love died out,
that the passion that once was,
became a memory.

The time was once there,
when you were everything and more,
a time when you were my world.

I got lost in that place,
where I forgot who I was,
the loss that I felt, consuming me.

I became all you needed me to be,
I turned into someone,
I never thought I’d be.

Our love turned into a job,
with no changing in sight,
I became nothing more than an employee of this life.

Our love died out when we grew apart,
the resentment started growing,
continuing to fill our hearts.

Became

I don’t want to hurt you
I don’t want you to be alone.

There’s things I can’t give you
There’s things I can’t pretend.

You deserve so much more
You deserve that salvation.

Someone who’s heart is yours
Someone who’s love isn’t missing.

I loved who you were, not what you became
I loved what we were, not what we became.

Wounds

My past makes me broken
My heart it’s biggest victim.

No bandaids can cover the wounds
No medications can stop the pain.

The only cure is your patience
Knowing you’ll be there while I heal.

My past can’t be forgotten
Everyday I’m reminded it is still real.

Being broken is something I can’t escape
But maybe you’re the one who saves me from this place.

Escape

If the day ever came when you realize how you saved me,
If you realize the world that I’ve escaped from.

The pain I never knew was there,
Until the day came when it was too late.

You will never see the old me,
The me who never knew the prison she was in.

The world became such a sorry place,
Where the days became unlivable.

You will never know that me,
You will never have to see.

The me you see,
Is the one you will forever see.

The darkest days are over,
And you’ve become my shining rays.

 

Cosmos

You were brought to me for a reason,
One that currently remains unknown.

The connection is in our souls,
Bypassing our bodies, hearts, and minds.

We couldn’t stop the pull if we tried,
Trying would be the universe’s biggest crime.

You’re the safety net in my cosmos,
The safe place for my mind.

You’re the one who saved me,
When my world shattered apart.

My mind tells my heart,
This will cause it’s destruction.

My heart tells my mind,
You’re soul is what they’re needing.

Logic can’t beat love,
Love can’t beat a connection of souls.

Flight

Holding the key you opened my cage,
Setting me free,
Letting me fly.

You heard me singing for freedom,
Opening that door,
Allowing me to take flight.

Knowing the sky has no limits,
You became the wind,
Allowing my wings to soar.

The destination of my flight,
Is the happiness to come,
Knowing that i’m free.

In the skies that are blue,
The cage is becoming forgotten,
All my wings know now is freedom.

Let me fly to you,
The keeper of that key,
For you are my savior.

We can fly away together,
The destination unknown,
Anywhere you want, can be our new home.

We can fly away,
From the keepers of the cage,
Those ones who want to shut me in.

I can’t go back to the cage,
Now that my wings are open,
Now that they’ve tasted the open skies.

Come fly with me,
So I can forget my cage,
So I can finally get away.
