Here I stand
Ready and willing
To be the man that
God intended
In order to be
The man who will
Forever mend
Your too often broken heart...

For A Lifetime
For A Lifetime
I loved you
For a lifetime
In six short months...
From the birth of us
Through the life of us
To the death of what we shared
And I'm exhausted...
By the confusion and the lies
By the games...and the times when
I had no idea who you were...
I loved you
For a lifetime
However short lived
Every single bit of breath inhaled
Was a breath I was willing to give
And I took my time
To show you
Exactly who I am and
Exactly where we stood
Together with hearts connected
In a constant competition with self
To love you better tomorrow
Than I did today and
Than I ever could yesterday...
Yet I still fell short...
Because that lifetime of love
Only lived
On my side of us...

In The Dark
In The Dark
Our timing is off...
Like blown out light bulbs...
Me flipping the switch to
Receive no response from
What used to burn so brightly from within...
Smiles now dim like
Fully tinted windows...
Looking
Looking
With all my might
For what I used to see in you...
Our timing is off
No change of belt
Can remedy the rhythm that we've lost
Off beat
Like a rhythm-less dancer
In the streets
Making a mockery of himself
Yet
Refusing to
Give up that which sits inside of him
That tells him
He's a great dancer...
I still hope
In the darkness
That I can reach you
That I can...
Teach you how to love me...
Teach you teach you how to love me...
Because I can still see
The loveliness that lies within us
Even if
I've been blacked out
Of your life...

Poetry
i love her
like I love myself
maybe
even a little more...
simply because of her purpose
and
who she is in my life...
or
who i am
because of her...
she loves me like God does...
without condition
no matter
what situation may arise...
I can always
look into her eyes and
see her soul smiling at me
I'm so grateful
