Amen

And I will be with only you
Forever and ever amen

And I will be forever true
Forever and ever again

And you will make me weak at the knees
Save me from sorrow, suffering, disease,
It’s you alone I long to please
Forever and ever amen

No mortal coil shall tear us apart
Forever and ever amen

No charm offensive can steal my heart
Forever and ever my friend

And I will love you more each day
And you will take my breath away
To you my soul I give away 
Forever and ever amen 

I’m blind to the truth
Of the wolf in a suit
Fooled by the spin
And the evil within

A voice that is caged
By an inner rage
A song will release
Imprisonment cease

Random Thought

I don’t know why it happened
I can’t turn back the clock
My journey will continue on
Once I’m over the shock
Your lies were so convincing
And I was so naïve
Forever so forgiving
I allowed you to deceive
But what I really wanted
Was a place where I could be
Safe from hurt and harm
A place that does not exist
For I will always be there
My own worst enemy
The walls I built in my defence
They’ll be the death of me
They’ve now become my prison
And I must stand alone
The judge and jury and defence
For sins I can’t atone
A waste of space
A laughing stock
A loser and a sinner
A lost and lonely human being
Craving to be a winner
For no-one will accept me
just the way I am
my flawed and perfect energy
inseparable from you
