YOU, LOVE, AND GOD'S LIBERATING SCAR 

Ever remember,
You’re the child of God’s grace:
The devil’s desire:-

Satan craves God’s goods:
Can’t steal, he seeks to adopt
All confused navels:-

Navels can’t erase
The scars of their beginnings:
Heaven can’t be hell:-

Hate can’t adopt love:
So, slap Satan in his face,
And walk away free.

You are God’s glory;
A liberated navel:
A keloid of love:-

Premium Memberover

(a simple breakup, in Senryus)

I said I’m “fine,” which
was absolutely true - just 
not where he’s concerned.

Our story ended,
a cancelled series without 
lesson or climax.

I was proud of us,
we ended things maturely, 
no one told the truth

He wasn’t in my 
life but somehow he never 
left my contact list
.
.
A song for this:
Only the lonely by the Motels

tells a story of my life
a voice from the past
