Introduction

Introduction 

Stripping my soul of indecency, I enter into  your abyss.
Secrets of tragedy I cannot explain, a tragedy that will forever exist. 

Raw, 
     a wound from my darkest of hearts.
Unapologetically closing every door, as if you had planned to reject the part.


My darkest day, happened in our darkest hour. 
Broken, I am broken.
But. 
I refuse to be speechless. Because bravery is outspoken. 

Heartache and bruising, this dance with the devil, I found amusing. Accusing my past, as if you choked me while chewing. 

Hate.
Impossible, at least it was. You might debate me, but you lack the very definition of love.

You have introduced me... 

To you.
Yet again.
To all of the above.

Your Lady's Dress

Your lady's dress, so red and oh so fine.
I hear whispers in the wind, oh how they are so divine. 
I see your lady's footprints, they're indented in the sand.
As you whisper softly, I watch you take her hand.
Her eyes tell a story, oh how yours turn the page.
Loving nights forever, as both of you grow with age.
Your lady's dress, oh so white and how divine. 
Fresh rose petals falling as you pour her sweet wine.
A gold diamond ring, it holds her close to you.
As words are exchanged, I hear both of you say "I do".
Your lady's dress, so wrinkled and so perfumed.
Knitting needles on the bedside, she’s falling asleep real soon.
I hear soft whispers of love and then age consumes. 
How another winters past, now death is soon to bloom.

I Choose You

I know we've had a rocky start and lately you're growing tired. But if you let me make it up to you, I promise I won't put out this fire. 
Sometimes I know it's hard for you to grasp that I love you, oh but I deeply do. 
Im learning how to juggle these blessings, I'm learning that this love is true.  All the people in the past, but I'm learning that's not you. 
There has never been a moment that you haven't stood by me, I know that I am imperfect but I never meant to make your soul bleed. 
I choose you. Out of everything, out of everyone, I choose you. 
We have our ups and downs, then those silly go arounds. But when we get back up, I couldn't be more proud. I don't always treat you like an angel, I guess I have a lot to learn, all I know is when I'm with you, I let all my worries burn. I choose you, out of everyone, out of everything, I choose you. 
Life isn't simple, it's a mix of love and hate, but baby when I'm in your arms it's simply heavens gates. 
I choose you, out of everyone, out of everything, I choose you. 
We make mistakes, I guess that's what growing is. Falling down to get back up, there is strength when we forgive. 
I choose you, out of everyone, out of everything, I choose you. 
When you hold me close, and when your lips meet mine, when we laugh together, when your smile shines. I choose you.
