His Little Sheep

I didn't realize how hard it'd be
To sit here where I am
Listening to words I used to love;
Now being the wolf among you lambs
In my seat, I began to cry
The tears you all could see
Your heads are turned but I still feel
All your eyes on me
I can't stand to hear He loves me
and that He's greater than my heart
That he'd readily forgive me
If in the path of repentance I'd start
I can't seem to do it all
Into this world, I'm far too deep
New friends, new goals, new everything
I'm no longer His little sheep

Missing You

I miss your fingertips
Running across my skin
I miss the way you'd look at me
With that cute little grin

I miss the way you danced around
And when you'd whisper in my ears
I miss the comfort you always brought
When you wiped away my tears

I miss your singing and your jokes
And how you'd have me laughing and kicking on the floor
I miss the way you took care of me
Whenever I had an ache, pain, or sore

I miss the way you'd kiss me
With your sweet soft lips
I miss the way you'd hold me
With your hands placed on my hips

I miss the times you'd stare at me,
And compliment my beauty
I miss how you protected me
As if it was your duty

I miss all the fun we had
Like times we'd sing together
I miss all the serious mushy stuff
Like making promises of forever

Most of all, I miss your love
I miss you as my best friend
So when I pray about the important things
I pray that this will never end

A Bright Thought Through All the Misery

Sitting here
flushing out the tears
drowning in my misery
that's piling up through the years

I thought of you
On my face, a smile
I read your poetry
cuz it's been a while

I don't know if I've thanked you
for being "there" for me
I can't imagaine how great
a man you'll turn out to be

It's unbelievable
how sweet you are
know that im happy
to be your north star

and if it were possible
i'd cry on your shoulder
lie down beside you
as we grew older

************************
I'm not proud of this poem (from a literary standpoint), but I wrote it down anyway...because 
as I was sitting here being sad, he was the one thought that made me smile...and I had to 
tell him.

Behind the Anger

I’m angry
at God, my friends, but mostly
myself. 
Each day, I wake up
wondering what my purpose is
and why I belong
with you, with him, with them
Or just why I belong…
here.
Everyday
I walk further…
Further away from reality,
from happiness,
from truth
Just to get a moment of silence
from the noise of obligation,
responsibility and commitment…
and all the things I need,
but can’t handle.
I walk towards darkness,
where no one can see the tears,
where I can fade away 
and be forgotten.
I live a life in which
I am loved so dearly
beyond my knowledge…
Loved so much that now,
they’ll start to hate me.
Because everyday
that I make it easier on myself,
I make it harder on them.
And without a word, 
I know…
that they’re hurting inside
and when I catch them looking
I don’t wanna smile
I don’t wanna give them false hope
that I’d finally be the person
they want me to be.
And in my anger, I hope to hide
that deep down, I’m hurting too.
Because it’ll only hurt them more.
I only hurt the ones who love me most
So when my eyes meet theirs,
I beg for them to hate me
Because then, maybe…
They can let me go

My Battle With Sin

Imperfect soul,
I am and have always been
Constantly in front of me
Is temptation preceding sin

And I’ve made mistakes
That I always apologize for
But I’m constantly in battle
My mind and flesh at war

Like Paul, ‘I wish to do what is right
But what is bad is present with me’
Enslaved to sin’s law, in bondage
On my own, I can’t break free

I stand in amazement
At how easily I lose control
Each time I fall back
I step further away from the goal

In front of others, I smile
Disguising my shame and sorrow
But in the darkness, I cry all alone
Waiting for when there’s no tomorrow

There are things I lament about
That no one could ever know
The painful things that cut the deepest
I hold onto, never to let go

And at night when I lay my head down
I beg for mercy that I’ll never accept,
Love that I’m so undeserving of,
And help to keep the promises I never kept

The Pessimist Speaks Out

They say life is short;
I say it's not short enough...
And the rainbow after the storm
is just another fairy tale.
Sure, when one door closes
another door opens...
But who's to say what's on the other side
will turn out to be good?
Those attached 
lust after the freedom of not being
and the supposed lucky singles
desperately seek to be attached.
Everything we don't have,
we MUST have;
And all that we have,
we don't need...
(until it's gone, of course)
How ideal if all things were perfect...
No problems, no worries, just joy...
But then you'd call it boring
The optimist looks down at me with pity
But at the end of the day
When the world fails you
Who's the one that's disappointed?

Hopeless Addict That I Am

This is my drug
Rushing into me
Leaving me emotionless
...Just as I wanted

Tears drop
But I feel no pain
Moments pass
I start to numb
...It's exactly as I wanted

This is my drink
At the end of the day
I drink to forget
But I still remember...
I can't forget

I'm beat
Emotionally, I'm drained
I tell myself I'll quit
But I'm a hopeless addict,
longing for more of the pain
The pain that numbs
Body, mind, and soul

I keep thinking
If I just keep hurting
Eventually I wont feel anymore
I don't wanna feel anymore

HE is my drug,
my drink at the end of the day
And when I close my eyes
To go to sleep
I know that in the morning,
I'll be alone again

Broken Hearted

I set out on a mission 
to fix my broken heart...
to glue all of the pieces 
that you tore apart

When I came close to finish
and left the glue to dry
You thought you'd take a hold of it
and drop it so I'd die

I dropped down to my knees,
crying. What was I to do?
I gathered what was left of me
and once again gave it all to you

The Sun

The day is falling
With the sun seeking shelter
We await its return

Shattered Pieces

The Golden Rule: treat others
The way you want them to treat you
How beautiful an idea
That won't ever come true

I think because I'd die for you
Then, likewise you'd die for me
But no matter how I am to you
You'll be who you wanna be

I can give you kindness
You'll repay me with malice
Then watch me cry & hurt for you
As you stand aside, calloused

My greatest gift I'll give to you
My heart, safe in a box
That you'll open without hesistance
To crush it with your rocks

And as you walk away from me
I'll pick up the shattered pieces
of my heart, my life--every bit of me
The pain just never ceases
