I once was on a path..
A path of unity and innocence.
Brightness the colored my heart
full of wonders. Honest smiles
and joyful laughter.
There was no 'you' or 'I',
just 'we' as one.
One life.
One love.
One spirit, living
as love inside of us.
A path of loneliness.
My world turned grey
when 'you' left 'I'.
I was lost in questions.
I thought I was alone.
That 'we' turn to
just 'me'.
My strength grew weak.
The monster, 'you' became.
My heart left with 'you'.
Leaving me with a black
hole in my chest.
I felt empty.
A path of darkness.
Flashlights shined in my face
blinding my eyes and blurring my vision.
They shouted the loudest of whispers.
Sweet nothings that sounded so right.
My heart was broken, my hope was gone.
I was weak and searching for love.
I believed their words.
I followed where they led.
Into the dark woods following an uneven path
of broken branches and shattered dream.
They shoved darkness down my throat,
stealing my soul, taking control of my mind.
My breath was taken, I'd gasp for more.
'Have I really taken this fall?' I'd ask myself.
'Nonsense! Nonsense! Follow my way..'
I was pushed and shoved
deeper into the mysterious woods.
'swallow this, drink this, your worries will be gone.'
My days turned to nights; weeks turned to months.
The monster, 'I' became.
A path of grace and renewal.
'You' showed up at my door,
one night like before, I was
ready to quit and leave this
life 'I' lived.
His Grace was with 'you'.
His light shined so brightly
through 'you', washing my
eyes of all that 'I' had seen.
When my eyes opened wide,
I caught a glimps of hope.
There was mercy for us.
My spirit set free.
My heart in safe hands.
This warmth of happiness
brought endless streams
of joyful tears to my cheeks.
I realized 'we' are walking home.
This is a love to believe in.
Our Father is always with us.
Brightness the colored my heart
full of wonders. Honest smiles
and joyful laughter.
There was no 'you' or 'I',
just 'we' as one.
One life.
One love.
One spirit, living
as love inside of us.
A path of loneliness.
