heartbreak no.

and that’s when I knew
it was a mistake to love you;
everything I would give
always less than I’d take away
because you have a heart
that only breaks on demand –
that’s how you control
the ones who control you;
it’s how they fall for what you
say and not what you do.

light of grace

her name,
what she exudes;
grace
delivered me
and opened up
a realm
of opportunity;
flesh of my womb,
i bled for her
and would bleed
again
to take away
the pain
of her
not knowing
how she saves
and brings to life
the light
that is inside of me,
now a light for all
the world to see;
it is hers i carry
with me.

scythe

Don’t mind cutting into
what I can’t get through
to see what’s on the other side;
I know you have something
you hide
to keep me coming back
with my knife,
though it’s
my blood on the blade and
you know I can’t be saved.
