Alexia Brinsley Poet ABC

Stuck In the Back of My Heart

Take notice in those moments just before you fall asleep ..

For our mind sets free and screams the words by day we never speak 

When you stretch out in your bed imagining someone else was there.  

And your sheets are cold replaying wrongs, and manifesting fears

For this is when you meet yourself, stripped back, quiet, dark 

Only now as you exhale, you hear, the names stuck on the back of your heart.

Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
