Fireflies

The last time I saw fireflies was on a still summer night
walking home from all the mess we made,
thinking how will my life be after all this pain
that has stained
my path?
and our memories replayed
and I was reminiscing on your eyes and how healing from their cutting gaze
has been exponentially delayed.
I was deep in thought but then I was caught off guard;
I took it as a hopeful sign from God--because as I walked
through the dark,
I could see a glow from the corner of my eye
and when I focused more, I saw them--about seven fireflies,
shining in and out of existence.
And I was instantly reminded that hope requires persistence,
that no instance of depression or any lowly heartless position
could ever take away my hope...
Because it is in the most quietest moments of my soul
that a light is lit within,
always helping me get safely home.

Departed

the living
walking
among the dead
snap
snap
snap
a picture
caught eternally as a frozen
moment
as they lie below
eternally asleep
as children laugh and frolick
above and through their
departed memories
and meek eulogies
on tombstones, so gray and cold.

Maybe, Just Maybe


Oh, why do I give him a single moment of my time?
My God, It’s crazy how he’s running through my mind!
And I know it’s foolish considering all of the pain
And the hurt that he left me here with, it’s always the same

and after all this time
my heart wants me to find you and let you know I still love you
but my strength wont let me fall back down to you

cause I have changed so much
I have become so tough
Overcoming all our love
I now know that God is Enough
The only One I can trust
And I pray for you so much
But with no contact
I only wonder if the devil has attacked
You, broken you, back, down and won
Or if you have changed too
And are willing to live in the Son

Maybe with time, we can forgive and forget
Maybe with love, we can erase the regret
Maybe, just maybe

But I don’t want to live in disillusions
Because I know true love is only an illusion—
No one is perfect, we all make mistakes
But why did we have to end it this way?
I want to know
If maybe, just maybe,
This still matters to you?
Does your heart still whisper “I love you”?
But more than that,
I want to know if you are safe.
Are you embracing the Sun?
Maybe, just maybe.
I hope the Light has won.

Like A Soldier


You want a Relevant element
 I’m Dependent on the Sacrament
There’s just no comparison
my greatest weapon of self-defense
Im callin your bluff and its
It’s time to heal ya sin we’re exposin’ it
Your Phenomenal reticence
Longs for Innocence so adamant
And so we’re killin em drainin em
Slowly like a titanium
Bomb to the bottom
We tellin ‘em about Him
Lost souls we go get’em
Bring’em to the Throne of our Father
That’s why I’m his daughter
Reel ‘em in like a soldier
As your soul fights for exposure
The toll’s that of the greatest war ya
Will ever fight in your life
Its always a struggle and it startin’ tonight
and when you wake in the morning
and you feel the tug of the callin’
dont run from it applaud it
cause every soul will get audited
so your faith, don’t renounce it
better yet embrace it 
dont let your life get wasted
so when it’s the last call 
and ur friends are makin jokes
faith hope n love are all 
that will be left, nothing else, 
that’s all folks!

Echoes

a pin drops
my heart stops
its true talk
the real cost
of life bought
and lied against
a broken pavement
cracked and bent
disillusory trick
heat escapes quick
and the sound of hope
trickles
if we elope 
in wrinkles
to a time that we'd know
but all that's left are echoes
empty in my soul
