to apply to my burn

"you know me - i had plans..."

-The Black Keys


i accept and surrender
that a love so tender
is not this day to hold
not found in this mold

the plan is in motion
without a soothing lotion
to apply to my burn
i can only learn

i know not where this leads
and i am begging please
to fill this heart again
with a love without end

freedom

amen

 

im ready oh lord - i cast myself into your capable hands

what the next act will be

"go on - believe her when she tells you nothings wrong..."
-melissa etheridge


the past is done
and under the sun
i am free to begin again
let a new wind in

to the road i go
and only god can show
what the next act will be
so wait and see

the change swept through
and brought many new
friends and themes
and cancelled many dreams

it was lying there in the sun

"don't fear the reaper"
-blue oyster cult

i saw death today
and passed him on his way
many times hes passed me by
but never have i asked why

it looked to be bomb
inspired by psalm
it was lying there in the sun
i thought i would have some fun

if it be your will
to put an end to my thrill
then please let my daughters know
their papa did his best to grow

please just let me live

"I want to live with you, cook & clean for you, and be your woman..."
-Lisa M. Miller


how do i surrender
a love so tender?
how do i let go
of the only true love ive known?

but how do i believe
one so practiced to decieve?
please just let me live
i have nothing left to give

i am here all alone
have been for so long
while you found comfort with another
and left me to suffer

please oh lord stop the pain

"She once believed in every story he had to tell..."
-Pearl Jam


its screaming
and as its beating
its tearing
this heart is failing

doomed to ne'er forget
a love so simply beget
please oh lord stop the pain
and let love remain

wash away these memories
take the edge from their talons
let your will be done
even if i must come undone

to live as if you can not die

"'...cause he wanted to share
the key to the locks
on the chains he saw everywhere..."
-Pearl Jam


there will come a time
when i can no longer rhyme
when my pen fades away
and my breath does not stay

i give you only this
to live as if there is no bliss
to live as if you can not die
to live as if you will not cry

try and try again
though you may grin
and though you may wail
you are not done till the final nail

i can not even understand

"...and 'Love is all' he said"
-Cat Stevens

in the quiet of the night
is when i find the light
i know that im alone
and yet i do not groan

for the plan is still
be drafted with a skill
i can not even understand
no worries from this man

its a beautiful day
thats all i can say
i have food to eat
and a warm place to rest my feet

by the spider called fear

"that a broken heart is blind..."

-Black Keys

never let it be said
that i let dread
keep me still
its only another thrill

never let it be known
that i was overthrown
by the spider called fear
and my ship i would not steer

heartbeat by heartbeat
i have kept these feet
moving on
still singing my own song
