A Poem for You---- 248

Those unexpected twists

Life can throw some curves

Faster than the knife

Sticking out of your back

And I’m still waiting on the day

When my heart won’t have to feel this way

Don’t give up on me

He whispers soft and sweet

But isn’t it too late?

I’m still hoping against hope

This little tip top show

Won’t end in tears again

No, not tonight

Don’t read into everything

I won’t give up my anything

Don’t give anything away

There’s still room for you to stay

Please stay

Sweetheart this road is long

And I won’t be coming along

So don’t cry for me

Your days are always full

And tomorrow you’ll be still

There for me

I want to see you again

But I’m waiting on this heart of mine to waken

Don’t hope against

Everything that’s going

Still going

I’m still going

Still going

Going down that long, long road

And let the words roll over

Let the evening lights gather

I’ll wait upon my wishing star

And light a fire inside this eerie heart

Of mine

A moth is strong and beautiful

A butterfly won’t last              

With every strife and strike and stride

I’ll pray upon my past 

He hears me when I'm broken

He fills me when I'm full

He's the reason that I'm praying

Still alive and here, still standing tall

I'm ready for the ocean

To press on through the waves

And tomorrow there will be 

My own sweet better days
