Spice

Tag: Angst, Pain, Rage, Raw — TGM @ 9:29 pm

Pain tears me up inside
So strong I can’t even describe
It eats at me from the inside out
And brings a head to all my doubts
Everything I want in life
I see drifting along like a piece of spice
It dangles itself before
Opens its mouth
And with its mocking words
Gives a harsh face to all my fears
“Nothing deserved
Nothing given
The emptiness in you
Is the only thing living
You reap what you sow
And gain through belief
But nothing you’ve done
Deserves such relief.”
A taunt of disbelief
That I will ever reach
Goals in my life that laugh at me
For even thinking I can dream
And anything in life
Will ever come to me

Held at Bay

Tag: Hope — TGM @ 9:17 pm

Sometimes in the night
I think I’m all alone
The walls start closing in
And my nightmares start to take hold
Memories of past fears start to overtake me
There’s so many things I’ve gone through
To get to where I am today

But then a light shines through
And it takes my breath away.
You’re the one and only thing
That I have to hold on to
All my pain and fears are washed away
Everything will turn out okay
And in your arms I’m safe
And the pain of the world
Is held at bay

I look at you and breathe
And feel you in my arms
How could anyone or thing
Be everything to me
You’ve made my world complete
You make everything insane
I wouldn’t change a thing
When I see you look at me

And then a light shines through
And it takes my breath away.
You’re the one and only thing
That I have to hold on to
All my pain and fears are washed away
Everything will turn out okay
And in your arms I’m safe
And the pain of the world
Is held at bay

Written as a song for my oldest daughter shortly after her second birthday. Sometimes the simplest things in life are what holds you together.
