Empty Girl

The rain drops down in sadness,
As the sun departs the light.
Such emptiness and silence,
Death has cursed upon this night.

Whispers fill the silence,
As you leave this dreadful place.
Oh how I wish to feel you,
Wipe the tears right off my face.

Oh how I wish to hear the beauty,
Of your everlasting voice.
Oh how I wish to see your face,
If I only had a choice.

Dear Death, I do beseech you,
To attain my empty soul.
See my life now lacks a purpose,
Because I am no longer whole.

Dear God, I beg for mercy,
Please return my star-crossed love.
The agony strikes through me,
As you look down from up above.

And then I hear you like a dream,
“We will meet again once more,
All you need is trust in God,
To help walk through that peaceful door.”

So I sit there in the silence,
Thinking what just crossed my eye.
No longer will I mourn for you,
No longer will I cry.

My life was based on loving you,
But as you leave this sinful world.
I realize God will see me through,
No need for an empty girl.

Lies.*

Words can't describe what's occuring in her mind,
The lies, and unfaithfulness drowning in the tears of her eyes.

She's in too deep the ocean of deceit,
Someone is needed to make her life complete.

When he left she found herself overwhelmed with cries,
And she decided to take part in a series of lies.

Is there a second chance for this grieving soul?
As time passes by, recovering is her only goal.

Although time is passing, the memories stay fresh in her head,
How will she take it when she finds out that he's dead?

Change

Forces its way to take part in my life
Makes its demands and cuts like a knife

Alters the lives of the people I love
Enslaves me more than the heavens above.

Takes its time and thinks not of others
Strong enough to destroy a bond between brothers.

Uses illusions to reel in its victims
Leaves them astonished and unaware of the symptoms.

Nothing can stop its immortal lies and
No one can challenge its overheard cries.

But all in all,
Sacrifices must be made
Debts and bills must be paid
Change must be faced without regret
But in my life, change i will never let.
If it breaks my pain and misery,
...then change in my life will set me free.

Lightning*

The dazzling white lights dancing through the stormy night,
Bring a sense of inspiration and fill me with delight

A sudden burst of terror brakes through the night-lit sky,
Which seems as though the heavens and earth are breaking with the tides

As humans lay in slumber the lights continue on,
Until the wakening of the dead, until the break of dawn...

The True Meaning of Life

When I opened my eyes
It all became so clear.
That the time is now to release our fears, 
Because the hour of judgment is almost here.

Don’t let the beast make your thoughts unclear.
His illusion of happiness is insincere.
See money and power do not conceal,
But rather bring pain to the One so dear
Who gave His own life to make our sins disappear.

Jesus Christ will make things clear. 
And in the direction of truth 
He will let you steer,
Because without Him,
We wouldn’t even be here.

So take one minute and open your ears,
And your heart, to the one who volunteered
To give His own life so we could see
The true meaning of life, for us to be
complete in God who will set us free.

Life's Order

Empowered by anger,
Leads to pure aggression.
Empowered by media,
Leads to fatal depression.
Empowered by hate,
Leads to eternal fire.
Empowered by love,
Leads to intimate desire.
Empowered by addiction,
Leads to illusions of lust.
Empowered by fear,
Leads to depletion of all trust.
Empowered by sex,
Leads to destruction of the soul.
Empowered by drugs,
Leads to loss of self-control.
Empowered by others,
Makes the days seem colder.
But empowered by self,
Leads to life in natural order...

Emotions

Emotions desire to take control,
Deep inside, waiting to unfold.

Love, so gentle, yet so fierce,
Leaves her crushed, and her heart ever-so pierced.
 
Her innocence once blew like a flower in the breeze, 
But now her soul lies in a ditch, never at ease.

First sight's love had her fooled from the start, 
Living in a dream was unsafe for her heart.

Unbearable pain was his gift goodbye,
Thinking not of the damage, he left his victim to die.

She lye there waiting for her life to be taken, 
Thought she had no one, but she was mistaken.

A glowing pair of eyes were caught in her sight,
She attempted getting up with all of her might.

The man came closer, gave an edge to her world,
Without even knowing, he shed light to the girl.

Took her by the hand, gave her a second shot at love,
His illuminating vibe appeared as if he were sent from above.

The girl gave in to this man's illusion,
Thinking not of the pain that her heart was once bruising.

She looked deep in the midst of his bewildering eyes,
And caught herself breathless with no surprise.

She's caught in the whirlpool of emotions to use,
...once again, the love cycle continues.

Cradle Me

Sound asleep, I lay in slumber peaceful as can be,
And in my dream, the Lord himself is looking straight at me.
Coming closer, step by step as I wave at Him in joy.
Igniting my heart with happiness, something no one can destroy.
Thank you Lord for gracing me with your everlasting presence. 
Come into my heart and guide me on the loving path to heaven.
Thank you Lord for loving me when no one heard my cries.
I await the day your angels sing and triumph through the skies. 
Dear Lord I’m at your mercy, please take me as I am.
For this world is full of misleading judgment that I can no longer stand. 
Cradle me in your arms Lord, as I tremble in my fears.
Lead me to a place where, you are all that I can hear.
The sound of your great name brings sweet melody to my heart.
Defend me Lord for without your might I seem to fall apart.
