Forgotten Fire

I was only twelve back then,
It seems like yesterday.
I suppose these terrifying memories I have,
Will never go away.

Gendarmes after Gendarmes,
Came to our town.
They took my oldest brothers,
And shot them to the ground.

My heart began to sink,
As my Mother screamed and cried.
She sat beside their bleeding bodies,
A part of us just died.

Early one morning,
I woke to a sound.
It was hundreds of Armenians,
Marching out of town.

Soon after they took my Father,
They came back for us.
They told us to quiet,
So there would be no fuss.

We marched and we marched,
To a dark rancid inn.
With the hope and wonder,
Of ever seeing daylight again.

My brother Sisak and I,
Escaped from their evil wrath.
We walked back to Bitlis,
On a well beaten path.

We searched for food,
Just like we said we would.
We wished and we prayed,
But it didn't do any good.

My brother soon starved to death,
But I had to carry on.
To tell this story of a Forgotten Fire,
A battle that I won.

The Turkish soldiers came,
And caused so much strife.
They wanted to kill everyone,
Obliterate all Armenian life.

I was only twelve back then,
It seems like yesterday.
I suppose these terrifying memories I have,
Will never go away.

Everything Has Changed

Everything feels different now,
I'm reborn a faithful fighter.
A sinner lost its turn that day,
Now my soul shines even brighter.

It sometimes hard to fathom,
The fact you died for me.
Your blood washed away my sins,
And opened my eyes to see.

I never felt this way before,
I can't help it, I must confess.
Seeing through these unveiled eyes,
Showed my life was such a mess.

The joy I have inside my heart,
Can only come from you,
Don't know why I took so long,
To trust God's word is true.

Everything feels different now,
I'm now a faithful fighter! 
A sinner lost it's turn that day,
Watch my soul shine even brighter!

Out of Nowhere

I believe there is one person,
Made specifically for only me.
I've been here patiently waiting,
For what's destined to finally be.

You came to me out of nowhere,
Almost like a silent, raging flood.
I had no clue this beautiful feeling,
Would weave it's way into my blood.

A fire ignited my soul's desire,
Along with ever passing moment.
You made my heart feel again,
It's all yours if you want it.

I have to be completely honest,
You found me at the perfect time.
You didn't know me when I cared,
For no one's feelings but mine.

Through all the trials I survived, 
Made me who I am today.
I had to be made into the one,
Like the potter molds His clay.

Chain Reaction

I thought I knew the meaning, 
Of my heart's true satisfaction. 
But nothing yet can compare,
To this awesome chain reaction. 

By giving myself to evil ways, 
Made my life an uphill climb. 
Living as though I knew it all, 
Sure wasted precious time. 

A moment came to me one day, 
When I had to make a choice. 
Follow this old beaten path, 
Or listen to your voice. 

This time I swear I'll listen,
My actions stayed the same.
I waited for your blessing, 
But yet it never came. 

I was so lost, scared, & mad, 
I couldn't hear you speak. 
Why'd you have to leave me?
I've finally reached my peak. 

Instantly, I felt your presence, 
It brought me to my knees.
You never left me all alone,
To fight these raging seas.

The feeling inside is overwhelming, 
I've clearly found true love. 
Your grace & joy is inviting, 
Please shield me from above. 

The grip that evil HAD on me,
Made it dark, too dark to see.
Now my life is filled with light, 
Thank YOU for saving ME! 

God you are the golden key, 
To my soul's true satisfaction. 
I broke my heart you fixed it back, 
And caused this chain reaction.

Someday Soon

Someday soon I'll run out, 
Of all my "give it one more tries".
Someday soon I won't believe, 
In all your pretty little lies. 

Someday soon this love for you, 
Like a flower will wilt and die.
Someday soon I'll break these chains,
And leave you here to cry.

I've cried myself to sleep it seems, 
Like a 100 thousand years. 
I could easily fill the Atlantic Ocean, 
With all my undried tears.

Did you really not see, 
The pain you were inflicting?
My soul is now completely broke, 
So your hurt I am evicting.

You made me believe without a doubt,
In all your broken dreams.
But I have yet to see you fulfill
Any of your lousy schemes.

I stood up for you and had your back, 
When everyone turned away.
But now my love is fading fast, 
Don't know what else is left to say.

I know you must've meant well, 
But now you've completely changed.
I have to go and leave you here, 
Now that my priorities rearranged.

Please don't you worry about me, 
I will make it out just fine.
You can't have what's left of me,
God said, " Nope! She's all mine!"

Someday soon My God will heal, 
Every single broken piece.
He will refill my faith in love, 
So my heart will find relief. 

I'm still praying for you daily, 
Cause that's what I'm lead to do.
Forgiveness & a Greyhound bus,
Will move me far away from you.

Now You'Re Gone

Our hearts are painfully broken,
This cannot be real or true.
You were just here yesterday,
Now you're gone & we miss you.

Your personality was so bright,
Everyone recognized your smile.
You had an effect on those around,
Even ones you knew for a little while.

I can't believe this reality is true,
Your family is in so much pain.
Your wife and children miss you,
I'm praying for closure & peace to gain.

We will keep you in our hearts,
Though it'll be different without you,
We will see you again someday though,
That's one promise we know is true.

Fix What's Broken

Tell me how to work this out,
And Fix what's evidently broken?
It's hard to talk about anything,
When no words are being spoken.

Our pride's acting like super glue,
Sealing our lips from a resolution.
We both know how badly effected,
A heart can be without restitution. 
 
Restore us back to the way before,
God get out Your famous tool kit! 
Break these two concrete hearts, 
Before it is way too late to fix it!

My brother we are much alike,
I finally took the time to see.
That burning pain living in you,
Resides, unrelenting, within me.

Remember we are so close in birth,
We lived like twins for many years.
I never worried about being afraid,
You were there to calm my fears!

I know you have your own family,
You're a great dad, humble, kind.
To me your presence's a necessity, 
Please don't leave me far behind.

It's obvious we both have issues,
That really need to be addressed.
It is possible we can help us both,
Fix the problems inside our chest.

Soon we will be a family again,
Throwing surprise parties & such.
I just can't wait to see that day,
I miss and love you all so much!

Insignificant Pain

Christmas Day of twenty-fifteen,
Was the worst in many years.
It should've been a happy time,
But it was bad with many tears.

We walked into my brother's house,
Following behind my two little boys.
Expecting an inviting welcome but, 
Instant silence replaced the noise.

Had we entered the wrong house?
Because it was very clear to see.
Although we were certainly invited,
No one was happy to see us three!

Silent glares from frowning faces,
Did I enter the wrong damn space?
Confused, I sat and wondered why,
Why did we feel so out of place?

Now it's time to enjoy the meal,
That was prepared for everyone.
I turned and looked at the table,
No spot was there for either son.

Finally, there was open seats,
Next to empty plates & crumbs.
They ate like they hadn't in days,
Reminded me of starving bums.

As I held back the painful tears,
That threatened then to overflow.
Don't they see that I'm really trying,
To understand what I do not know?

I couldn't comprehend back then,
What I have come to clearly see.
Knowing we weren't wanted there,
And you still invited the boys & me?

To you my pain was insignificant,
It ripped a canyon in my heart!
Tell me how to repair this damage,
When I don't know where to start?

Mistakes and Repercussions

I've accepted the repercussions, 
From my choices to my actions.
Forgiving myself and moving on,
Replaced my pain with satisfaction.

The biggest mistake that I had made,
Was putting all of my trust in you.
Not realizing what a crook you are,
Made my worst nightmare come true.

I made it back from hell with you,
From 3rd ward to your convictions.
We lost everything I never owned,
And gained not 1 but 2 evictions.

I know God kept me safe & sound,
As I wandered in the dark alone,
Without His word & guiding light,
My heart became as hard as stone.

I lived so long with a concrete soul,
Pain replaced my well known smile.
All I wanted was to be happy again,
Even if it was only for a little while. 

Drugs induced a temporary happy,
Followed by thoughts of suicide.
Dark dictation arose the question,
Would anyone notice if I had died?

I knew my sons would miss me,
They love their mom so much!
Unknowingly they rescued me,
From that demon's evil clutch!

I picked myself up off the floor,
And flew as fast as I could fly.
To the ones I held responsible,
The two reasons I did not die!

I've accepted the repercussions, 
From my choices to my actions.
Forgiving myself and moving on,
Replaced my pain with satisfaction.

Same Heartbeat

This love we have is equivalent to,
Finding a rare and precious stone.
Sharing the same rhythmic heartbeat,
Drives our love straight to the bone.

So many people will never get to know,
What we have found between us two. 
Our souls have been wandering blind,
Until our God directed my feet to you.

The moment when I saw your smile,
And felt your arms engulf my torso.
Hot fiery flames and electrical waves,
Flew through my veins even more so.

In all my disastrous, failed relationships,
Blinded me with pain, anger & toxicity.
What I saw as my life's worst mistakes,
God revealed as a transformation in me! 

All the trials that I have been through,
Made me better and who I am today.
Pressure molded me to fit right by you,
So by your side I'll faithfully love to stay!
