Fading Away the Mark of Misery

I must admit
You left me broken…
I am shattered shards,
Spread out on your hands…
Your sweaty palms of uncertainty at hand
But, we will land in a land of I-understand…

Make a stand and things won’t get out of hand
Don’t break up the band of creativity and cheer…
Your ideas you formulate are as numerous and vast like the seashore's shimmering sand
Want to hold you dear, but you need no trace of fear

Fading away the mark of misery
As fast as the sway of the sea's breeze
Tattoo your surreal, tranquil remedy
Upon my beating chest of a strength that kills away the weak disease
That tries to break me 
I fought back passionately
Hear my cries during nightfall
Lord, You made me tall after my fall

I am just these useless pieces of nothing still...
I will be fixed sooner or later
With godly words, 
Written down with much thought and heart of thrill,
On the tablet of my torn-apart heart, 
A scorched-aflame art from the start

In God's eyes
I am an un-cursed, 
Vibrant verse, 
Unspoken

I look like a tragedy
A tainted miracle, 
Hardly able to seek healing
With the Lord by my side,
Blessings are possible...
He has done the impossible
With powers of strength and mercy, 
Marvelously moving and invincible
Alive, I survived, but angst in me hasn't died...
Yet, God will hear my pleas of liberty times infinity

Past lover of mine,
You don’t get
The way I deal with these feelings 
Deep inside, this regret
Is kissing me with bruises, 
Killing me in the process…

You seem not to care regardless
No matter what, 
I’ll keep trying to lift from my lows soon
Trials are serpentine
To my soul of corruption
I'm fine, be kind and show me some sign
That you care to change your ways
Or you'll see my rage-wild-fire eruption
You will take a long time to be stitched up...longer than the Alaskan winters of bittersweet, darksome days

You are an epiphany in my restless brain 
You are the envy, going down the drain 
Fallen into place the moment
You gave me something to hold onto
I am the shade of yellow rather than blue
Be my starry frame of twinkling, turquoise treasure, so elegant and brilliant
You are a vessel of endurance tonight
Shine your celestrial-luminated candlelight 
That way, you will flourish 
In faithfulness and its fervor-burning flight, 
Minus the anguish 
Plus might
Times delight
Divided by fright

I am sorrowful…
It’s such a pity,
I know so well…
Well, get ready
For an avalanche 
Of hope and joy from dusk to dawn 
It’s satisfying like salad and ranch
With extra organic veggies to chomp on 

Daylight is letting loose the demons
Inside my mind and fading them out
Nighttime will not shed me tons and tons
Of shame and regret and doubt,
You know what I am talking about

I ran out of breath today…
I wanted to stay with you forever,
But time took you away
Guess I was less significant - hey, I want to be a person who will get better 
As time ticks on by like a troublesome clock as it chimes

Taken away from you once more
I am without your embrace that I adore
I am exceedingly sorry I have hurt you so much…
I love you so much, I miss your tenderizing touch 

I hate to say farewell to a once-loyal friend like you
I want to mend your aches and pains 
That bleed inside you, it grows too fast to start anew
I need you to know, you’re not alone…

Keep yourself motivated 
By never giving up completely
But…yeah, you’re right, 
I’m not one to talk 
I suppose I can’t walk your walk
Or place my feet into your sandals…
I can be your beach with many seagulls…

As long as you fly with me in sunrises and sunsets 
You can soar into the ocean's auras and reflections 
You and I will be whole once more, no more regrets
God will lead the way 
He will give you freedom of doing your decisions...
Hoping that later on today,
You’ll be my yesterday and tomorrow of gladness all the way 
With no talk of dismay, I pray 

I must admit
I am not one to talk, 
Sorry if I acted like a hypocrite

I was a hypocrite, but now I am different...give me a chance
I am an empathetic individual now, I am making a difference
I want to attempt to walk in your skin from within and everything...so, don't doubt yourself
SYMPATHY is from my heart like a board, marked with chalk - listen and see for yourself
That I am not perfect myself...

I am a flaw within a flaw within a flaw within a flaw...
You understand and you know me well, not in awe
The words I write are words that are deep with sentiments
They are confusing me and gives me scars so raw
I am aware of what you saw...the beast and the monster that I was, 
Not surprised at all frankly...thankfully, you saw the good and bad in me...
Regrets collect in my mindset...
It gets me excruciatingly upset
My mind is sorted out in aqua-seared fragments 
And frozen in igloo-shaped ice-charred segments 

I am broken too…a flawed poem in the making
A mending is on its way, so hold on – 
Peace and guidance, along with courage, is from within us 
If we keep holding on till doubts are gone
I am broken, it’s all true and over with…so stop pretending
That we haven’t done anything wrong to ourselves

Grab a hold of the ever-dangling, thick rope of hope…
Get a grip and quit being high off of depression's dope

I am quite certain 
We can be fearless
If we let go of the curtain
Of our endless, dry distress

Moisturize my mind of memories that overflow constantly and leaves me with skin and bones
It's a flood I have drowned in that refreshes my body with blemishes of dangerous, lonely zones

Seek wisdom…
Surely, hardships will turn to a cure of happiness
God's kingdom
Will sweep up the dust and our mess of mere madness,
Obliterating sadness…
Replacing it with gladness
Oh, finally, yes

The ache in your heart doesn't go unnoticed, as your words express the pain, the hurt so deeply. You are honest! Anything is possible, when true love holds onto all the possibilities- never wishing to let go. ~ Brandy
