A Change of Heart

Who was it that said

"people never change"?

Someone who should be pitied

To not be able

to see hearts change

to see people grow,

to learn to love

to forget their hate.

I wonder if the one who said it,

ever changed his mind.

For Sale By Owner

We came between ourselfs

How did it begin? I don't remember

Did nothing yet did everything wrong

Will we be able to work this out?

I can't see it now

Want to see you, keep you safe

want to help you through this

But its not my place

I can hold you yes, whipe away your tears

but in the end only He can fix you

So i step back, hand you to Him

Say a prayer and let go

hoping you will find your way back to me.

I know you're in good hands

Lord i'm letting go.

On Schedule

Things never go as planned

I tried to improvise

rushed forward too soon,

to try and fix the lie

Thank you for understanding

Just wait, we can make it still

Just keep running forward

On this pre-paved path.

Love Before First Sight

Happened so perfectly, lost my breath when

you took my hand and we began

our never-ending dance.

Take the lead, I'll follow your feet.

Music in the background,

never straying from the beat.

Sway with me

It's the first and final dance.

Storage Room

Thoughts unravel like a present,
secret and harsh is the surprise.
Stare at them and wonder if
I really imagined this.
Bursting open at the seams,
boxes fall off their shelves.
Can't be put back up now that they've fallen,
a mirror of myself.
Looking up to the heavens thinking that
i'll never clean up this mess.
Gaze back down to where they've fallen,
they've been picked back up again.
Someone cleaned up my mess
and is now standing with arms open wide.

Day meets up with the night

Head hits the pillow, so tired, wanna close my eyes

but my mind starts spinning round and round

thoughts on overload,

sit up, turn back on the lights.

Paper remembers what you write

so brush your teeth, write a song and go to sleep.

Sudden Turn

I was singing, you were laughing
driving down the roads we know so well.
Every moment, something new,
it seemed like we had always known this serenity.
So strange the way the seasons

change so frantically.

It was sunset then, but now the moon is out.
Hope we take the time to untangle this mess
You poor thing, lost child in a labyrinth
I can't find the way out for you,
you have to find it,

or you'll be more lost than when this began.
I'll help you with what I can, wish I could do more,
but it's not my place to find you in this maze,

it's His.

All the while, the world is the same,
it's only us who know, anything has changed.
