Night Time Thoughts

There’s a persistent pain eating away at my heart Memories of what was… tearing me apart How can I smile after all I have seen? How can I dance when I am in this machine? There’s a repetition chipping away at my soul Fighting for the right to be complete and whole How can I sing when sorrow weighs heavy on my chest? I tried giving you my absolute best There’s a fight between my spirit and mind I need more than a temporary sign I need more than this internal grief I need waters to flow in order to gain relief There is a fire brewing underneath these twigs and sticks Illuminating all the shames and dirty tricks Revitalizing purpose and desire Learning to submit to someone much higher How can I fly with wings of distortion? How can I rebirth this emotional abortion Numbness lasts for parts of this season When all one knows has committed treason Questions rose during battle and retaliation Nights under stars are born inspirations It’s as Sweet as honey in its final hour Only pure love can bring forth life, restoration and power.
