Dear Lord

Dear Lord thank You for the blessing of another day
Thank you for giving ear to my words as I pray
You have always been my life’s guiding light
Like a parent You were there teaching me wrong from right
I always searched for love from the people around me and I always came up empty handed
You were always there besides me when loved ones left me stranded
When those around me left me out to dry
There You were comforting me as I would sit on my bed and cry
Dear Lord You are the best thing that ever happened to me
I know that our relationship is meant to be
Without you I know that all hope would be lost and I would have nowhere to turn
You taught me that some things in life I have to let go and just let them burn
Dear Lord You taught me how to love and You taught me how to live
Dear Lord I’m begging You to teach me how to forgive..
In Jesus’ name..Amen

Love Faith Joy

No one ever knows if love can truly stand the test of time

Can faith alone give sight to the lover blind

Where is joy when trauma comes knocking at my door

The love quickly flees because it doesn’t find me appealing anymore

No amount of disgust or disappointment can shake these fears

It was not known that love could make one cry so many tears

The sun shines brightly….the trees remain still

My knees are buckling under the pressure but I have a strong will

Joy comes in the morning is what they say

The sun rises and I still feel the same sadness that I felt yesterday

I pull myself together so that I can push through the pain

I look up to the heavens and beg God to open up the flood gates and let it rain

As I continue on this path of loneliness I feel a teardrop on my face

I hear a gentle voice encouraging me to keep the faith

Love is not the only thing that’s getting me through

It is faith and joy too

What You Owe

Two wrongs never make a right 
But somehow you are going to pay for how treated me last night 
I have been through the high waters from the pits below
Long nights drenched in tears is what you owe
A sickening feeling inside my stomach and a dull pain in the small of my back
Now is the time for you to pay for all things you have always lacked
The sun is shining brightly outside but on the inside you hurt
This is how I felt when you made me feel like dirt
A man shows no emotions but that has been proved to be a lie
You poor thing...It was certainly my intentions to make you cry
I have been through the high waters conjured from the pits below
Cried out eyes and a sad face is what you owe
I guess it doesn’t feel good knowing that your heart aches
I’ve become immune to the pain because I suffered so many heart breaks
The pain of being mistreated by the one you love feels like being stabbed straight through
the soul
There you are left with a mess to clean up and a heart inflicted with a hole
Curling into the fetal position doesn’t help to ease the pain
Once you get the hurt out of your heart you have to try to get it out of your brain
Damaged thoughts and broken relationships with the demons haunting you from below
Defeat never victory or the success of a happy relationship is what you owe
