a fragile feel of want<br />
a look of care<br />
what i think i want<br />
i think i may see in you...<br />
<br />
not the outer shell<br />
facade sways me lightly<br />
inside is the tell<br />
shows me who you really are<br />
reminds me who i want to be.<br />
<br />
nerves take your rest<br />
i want to trust, never have i<br />
happiness is best<br />
will you hold on tightly too<br />
help contain my anxious heart!<br />
<br />
a beautiful inhibition<br />
beckons my heart to reach out<br />
a single condition<br />
would forever be long enough<br />
for me to wait for your heart?<br />
<br />
air in your presence<br />
intoxication, i don't want escape<br />
something perfect to me<br />
all respect i'll always give you<br />
before myself, please always be.<br />
<br />
smile such illumination<br />
let your laugh always ring out<br />
know no boundaries<br />
can i try to be your everything?<br />
in a way no one else could have, or ever be.Jaredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00125737159502724583noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3306572660605789198.post-35430751792992092722011-07-16T20:20:00.001-05:002011-07-16T20:20:00.437-05:00Let It Go<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Let it go.</span></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Let it go.</span></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Look at what it's done to you-</span></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Let it go.</span></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Let it go.</span></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Look at what they've made you into-</span></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Let it go.</span></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Hold on close.</span></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Not to me, but to yourself-</span></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Don't let go.</span></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Become more.</span></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Someday you'll be the only one who's left.</span></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

A smile, a laugh, blink slow-<br />
Cause I can barely tell<br />
Is this meant for me? A glimpse into eternity?<br />
A hope in my heart grows from frailty <br />
Because from days to daydreams about what could be<br />
To reach in my pocket, the change could be<br />
Enough to offer your hand,<br />
I'll take the wheel!<br />
I'll find a way to make this work,<br />
To make this real<br />
There was just something behind that veil..<br />
<br />
<br />
There's just something in your gaze,<br />
That let's me become who I am.<br />
I'd willing become a runaway in a maze<br />
Striving as long as I possibly can.<br />
Just to be able to stay with you awhile..<br />
<br />
<br />
It came upon me, a frightening surprise<br />
Fingers move the veil, I turn the fool,<br />
Falling far into your green eyes<br />
Whose thoughts behind say I follow every rule<br />
Maybe- And possibly,<br />
You may see some stability, in me,<br />
But please baby, if I can even say that name,<br />
I could wage my will to lose<br />
Against your love to gain-<br />
What a pleasant trap!<br />
What a perfect game!<br />
Will you come along with me and we'll play..<br />
<br />
<br />
There's just something in your gaze,<br />
That let's me become who I am.<br />
I'd willing become a runaway in a maze<br />
Striving as long as I possibly can.<br />
Just to be able to stay with you awhile..<br />
<br />
<br />
So will the twenty dollar bill in my pocket<br />
And quarter tank of gas enough to drop it<br />
Drop it all on this chance-<br />
A low profiled romance<br />
A shot in the dark I think I'd like to take<br />
The unexpected joy to become a mistake<br />
Though one I'd happily make<br />
Make just for you.<br />
I'd just like to see what it is that we could do,<br />
Who it is we could become<br />
For a day to become a runaway<br />
A runaway passion to n'er come undone..Jaredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00125737159502724583noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3306572660605789198.post-67376327565868599292011-02-08T11:33:00.000-06:002014-03-11T22:23:17.249-05:00Warmer DaysThe mailbox is cold and empty.<br />
The wind blows the leaves by my feet.<br />
I hope for a warm day to come my way,<br />
Or at least a new old soul to meet.<br />
<br />
Bad things happen to good people.<br />
I'm sorry I happened to you.<br />
When no one's to blame in a long losing game,<br />
It's quite hard to not feel so blue.<br />
<br />
I'm kicking the cans down the sidewalk.<br />
The future seems alone and bleak.<br />
Thinking positively just does so little for me,<br />
Knowing another is who you will seek.<br />
<br />
But the sun always shines in the morning.<br />
A new day to roll over into.<br />
And with family beside, I have nothing to hide,<br />
Each step into the future is new.<br />
<br />
The pain that we feel isn't easy.<br />
Things just didn't work out our way.<br />
But the new life that's to come is in the hands of the One,<br />
Who guides us and creates each day.Jaredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00125737159502724583noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3306572660605789198.post-51216531799804010022010-06-08T14:54:00.002-05:002010-06-08T14:54:30.224-05:00Icarus! Icarus!Growing so tired<br />
To feel so left alone<br />
Thinking I want escape<br />
From sin I can't condone<br />
<br />
They're repeating the past<br />
It's their comforting drill<br />
No change for one's other<br />
Due to lack of self-will<br />
<br />
So Icarus! Icarus!<br />
Lend me your wings!<br />
So they may take me away<br />
From such earthly things<br />
I'm terribly tired<br />
Waiting here in the dark<br />
So send me your wings<br />
Before I'm torn apart.<br />
<br />
Is there no one like me<br />
In this conformist new world<br />
Are they tucked scared in a corner<br />
Like a scared, little girl<br />
<br />
So I wonder in days like today<br />
And during nights like these<br />
If there is anyone else out there<br />
Crying and begging "please"<br />
<br />
So Icarus! Icarus!<br />
Lend us your wings!<br />
So I may use them to find<br />
Those seeking same things<br />
I will not fly us<br />
Up close to the sun<br />
But to some other world<br />
Where wont come undone<br />
<br />
Oh flier, I fall begging<br />
I'm pleading my case<br />
Oh angel, with your wings<br />
Take me away from this place<br />
<br />
This ground is no limit<br />
To all the worlds I feel<br />
Let me fly past the horizon<br />
And let the wind take the wheel<br />
<br />
Oh Icarus! Icarus!<br />
Please lend me your wings!<br />
So they may take me away<br />
From such earthly things<br />
I'm wickedly worn<br />
Waiting with this as my plea<br />
Swoop down from above<br />
Take me to infinity.Jaredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00125737159502724583noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3306572660605789198.post-73417157619668325162010-04-22T08:52:00.002-05:002010-04-22T08:52:19.123-05:00We Were SuperheroesWhat was it like<br />
To live out days like a child?<br />
Why cant I remember<br />
Those days when we ran wild?<br />
<br />
Do you remember the days of donning capes and superpowers?<br />
The enemies we fought<br />
The cities we'd save<br />
Hour after hour<br />
Do you remember these days when we were dynamic duos?<br />
Brother! Do you remember when-<br />
When we were superheroes?<br />
<br />
Running around aloud<br />
Without shoes and without a care!<br />
Soaring around in skies <br />
Made in our minds with no need for air!<br />
<br />
Do you remember the days when we were free?<br />
We were invincible<br />
We were powerful<br />
We were whoever we wanted to be.<br />
Do you remember our days of innocence no one else knows?<br />
Brother! Do you remember when-<br />
When we were superheroes?<br />
<br />
Where are those days<br />
That bring sighs into my chest?<br />
One day we'll be back<br />
In time when, maybe, life was at its best...Jaredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00125737159502724583noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3306572660605789198.post-15161034629291369182010-04-22T08:51:00.002-05:002010-04-22T08:51:33.597-05:00Bombshell RepriseThere's a hollowed out house<br />
From a bombshell drop.<br />
Shadows flashburnt to the walls<br />
Sparse shelter offered atop.<br />
<br />
A city left in vacant ruin<br />
From a megaton blast.<br />
A shockwave to swallow it up<br />
Lives stolen away so fast.<br />
<br />
A crater remains to see,<br />
Residue still lingers in air<br />
Along a faltering sense of safety<br />
How could this have been fair?<br />
<br />
A neighbor now stranger<br />
Scavenge what can be found<br />
All thoughts revolve in madness<br />
This is no longer 'safe and sound'.<br />
<br />
The decision to stop a country<br />
So consequence falls here.<br />
Leaving a city in aftershock and dust<br />
For the whole world to fear.Jaredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00125737159502724583noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3306572660605789198.post-87201031169707716252010-04-22T08:50:00.002-05:002010-04-22T08:50:57.307-05:00An Apology in Advance.My dear son,<br />
Know I wasn't always like this.<br />
My sweet daughter,<br />
Know what I mean when I kiss.<br />
<br />
My beloved children,<br />
Allow love into your beginning lives.<br />
Do not imitate father,<br />
Doubtful of it, no matter his tries.<br />
<br />
Happiness, my dears,<br />
Reality available to those willing.<br />
Unlike your father,<br />
His thoughts warrant it unfulfilling.<br />
<br />
My strong young son,<br />
Help those drowning in what is dark.<br />
My kind hearted girl,<br />
Pray for those broken to come back.<br />
<br />
My little doll,<br />
Look to your mother.<br />
My little man,<br />
Pray for your father.<br />
<br />
I am only a man.<br />
A flawed representation of our Maker.<br />
Please children,<br />
Do not let this spirit, in your lives, linger.Jaredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00125737159502724583noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3306572660605789198.post-59938204718845846572010-04-15T11:58:00.000-05:002010-04-15T11:58:23.967-05:00Self Aware.Have I really been gone this whole time,<br />
I've been waiting<br />
Where did you go to this- this moment.<br />
<br />
I've been looking around for a long time,<br />
I've been searching<br />
Where did all this time just- just go to.<br />
<br />
It seems like I've been passing by forever,<br />
I've been watching<br />
Where are all the sight and- and sounds.<br />
<br />
I feel like forever and seconds are alike,<br />
I'm losing touch<br />
Moments and Millennia seem the- the same.<br />
<br />
I've become something infinite and breaking,<br />
I've seen nothing<br />
I've seen absolutely everything I- I could.<br />
<br />
I can't seem to grip onto my existence,<br />
I've lost it<br />
I can feel everything flying by- by me.<br />
<br />
I am everywhere though I know to be lost,<br />
I cannot tell<br />
I've never felt this before. I am- I'm confused.<br />
<br />
Wait...<br />
Where am I?<br />
<br />
I... I feel like I've been gone this whole time...<br />
Why have I been waiting?Jaredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00125737159502724583noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3306572660605789198.post-16704561848428008822010-03-26T13:22:00.000-05:002010-03-26T13:22:36.536-05:00nothing.i have nothing to hide from you.<br />
you have nothing to fear.<br />
you shy away with secrets.<br />
why are you vague instead of clear...<br />
<br />
you have no reason to distrust me.<br />
no reason either to hide.<br />
your semantics make me question,<br />
what is your true nature inside...<br />
<br />
why cant you just be real with me?<br />
just sit and be who you are.<br />
just calm down and simmer out<br />
be human, not lookin for a superstar.<br />
<br />
i don't care who you think is watching<br />
i don't care if you want to be cool<br />
i don't care if you want to be hip and in<br />
i don't abide my life by such a rule<br />
<br />
i'm just going to want a person<br />
not a body for someone else<br />
there's no need for fame or renoun<br />
if you're stuck alone here by yourself.<br />
<br />
i have nothing to hide.<br />
i have no fear to tell you anything.<br />
i have no cause for shying away.<br />
i have an answer for anything you want to know.<br />
i have an open book for you to read.<br />
i have a life with nothing to withhold.<br />
i want the same.<br />
i want the truth.<br />
i want trust.<br />
i want behavior worth holding onto.<br />
i want someone similar to me, not like me<br />
but not like what we used to be.<br />
not a child.<br />
a person.<br />
grow.<br />
become something worth holding onto<br />
become something worth putting trust in.<br />
become something.<br />
hurry, but don't rush.<br />
there is a difference between speeding through and being efficient with time.<br />
grow.<br />
don't wait.<br />
proactive.<br />
initiative.<br />
take control.<br />
take leeway.<br />
take advantage.<br />
take the first step.<br />
don't wait.<br />
life is not a waiting game.<br />
waiting will get you nowhere while you wonder why it didn't make a difference.<br />
don't sit.<br />
stand.<br />
don't be silent.<br />
think.<br />
don't talk.<br />
understand.<br />
don't fumble.<br />
anticipate.<br />
don't try.<br />
do.<br />
<br />
don't wait.<br />
accomplish.<br />
grow.<br />
begin.<br />
grow.<br />
in the meantime, i'll be nothing for this.Jaredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00125737159502724583noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3306572660605789198.post-49619106052310506312010-03-23T15:04:00.000-05:002010-03-23T15:09:35.221-05:00Cleft for Me<span class="contentdescription">After reading: </span><br />
<br />
<span class="contentdescription">"One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple. </span><i><b><span class="contentdescription">For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock.</span></b></i><span class="contentdescription">"</span><br />
<span class="sectiontableentry2"><i>Psalm 27:4-5</i> </span><br />
<br />
<span class="sectiontableentry2">I begin to think:</span><br />
<span class="sectiontableentry2"> </span><br />
Woe in me, why do I fear a thing...<br />
Why are dark skies so frightening...<br />
Was it not You, O God, that made the world?<br />
It it not You, O God, in who's hands I'm curled..<br />
Ashamed when I sin in my sinfilled role<br />
You redeem my wrongs and cleanse my soul<br />
High, You lift me up, yet I'm afraid<br />
Yes, I know I'm safe under Your shade,<br />
But how can You, through the mistakes I've made,<br />
See a life worth saving with the blood You paid...<br />
How can I be worth that cost?<br />
My filthy life, just count it lost!<br />
Why do you use your blood you split that day<br />
To drop on my head and wash away<br />
Transgressions I commit against Your love<br />
Yet still You are holding me high above<br />
All my sins<br />
All my fears<br />
All my time spent in wasted years<br />
All my crying<br />
All my pain<br />
All the time You gave I spent in vain<br />
Your love, from it, I can't escape<br />
I'm in awe of You...<br />
When Mountains and Worlds is what You shape<br />
But as Your eye is on the sparrow...<br />
<br />
Even Lord as Your eye is on this little one...<br />
So, too, do You think of me, and all I've done,<br />
You still take me in my days of storms<br />
You tuck me away from mine enemies swarms<br />
You do not count me too high a cost<br />
But as a young sheep who was simply lost<br />
<br />
So<br />
May I find You one day, O Lord<br />
In Your tabernacle, O my God...<br />
May I only feel a shimmering radiance of Your beauty<br />
May I be strong enough to only bask in its boundary<br />
Not to speak in my voice, not to whisper a single word,<br />
But to cry and then cry out above all things, forever<br />

Seems to be a cavity behind my lung<br />
Damaged from a time when I tried<br />
Leaving me hollow and undone.<br />
<br />
Was I gone that long..<br />
Did I miss that much..<br />
Did that one day come,<br />
When she said she'd had enough..<br />
<br />
Did she forget about this..<br />
I know that I never did..<br />
I just wanted us happy,<br />
How did she move on before an end?<br />
<br />
I'm alone now and afraid.<br />
I know I can't forget her.<br />
She's happy now and gone.<br />
And now I'm just a loser.<br />
<br />
I may never win any medals..<br />
No ribbons nor rewards..<br />
I'm not a winner, but I'll say, 'okay..'<br />
All I wanted was to be is 'yours'.<br />
<br />
And if all of this is chaos<br />
Bringing about feast or famine<br />
Remind me just to give up<br />
And handover all things to abandon.<br />
<br />
But why is all of this now<br />
For once finally feeling fair..?<br />
I was once just tired of falling;<br />
And simply crashing into air<br />
<br />
But now into dark of night<br />
Straight into where I dive,<br />
I betray myself every mile<br />
That I continue to drive.<br />
<br />
And now as Bonfire begins to play<br />
Again once more after itself<br />
It reminds me of all the damage<br />
That I've brought upon myself..<br />
<br />
But the next that comes to playing<br />
As it seeps in through to my ears<br />
Wells up tears from how she's made me feel<br />
Throughout all the memories of the years...<br />
<br />
Mixed feelings in these memories multitude<br />
Hung up proudly in their frames<br />
As though my mind were a hallway<br />
With enough room for theses pictures, it can't contain.<br />
<br />
But my smile breaks through stronger,<br />
Than the sun in all its power,<br />
My mind is in the slow lane, but,<br />
My heart blazes by at unclocked miles per hour.<br />
<br />
Because there's a future, now, that's out there<br />
One that I just cannot wait to find,<br />
And this time, I cannot be held back,<br />
I simply will not fall behind.<br />
<br />
Not on this trail I'm blazing,<br />
Not on this path I walk,<br />
And I won't let myself be bothered<br />
By the Past's misery talk.<br />
<br />
So now, c'mon! Let's run!<br />
We have no time to waste!<br />
There's no need in looking back,<br />
Show me the meaning of haste!<br />
<br />
And as the spotlights begin to sweep<br />
Across the cloud filled sky,<br />
My lungs fill faster and even faster,<br />
"May this exhilaration not be a lie!"<br />
<br />
So, Night, devour and empower me<br />
To come alive again!<br />
Let Distance shrink into nothingness,<br />
Reviving as a Friend.<br />
<br />
And as Daylight tears through Darkness,<br />
And breaks out across the horizon<br />
May I hold her like I never have<br />
Joyful that this Day has finally come.Jaredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00125737159502724583noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3306572660605789198.post-37883956441058263632009-08-22T23:36:00.001-05:002010-03-09T18:38:35.883-06:00Desired Love Unwanted<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Here I am.</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Here I stand,</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">A single man, a simple soul.</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Here I breathe.</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Here I see,</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">An abounding love, out of control.</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><br />

There's seems to be no movement...<br />
The anchor holds steadfast.<br />
<br />
The winds are slow and steady..<br />
The breeze is blowing comfortably...<br />
The scene peaceful and still.<br />
<br />
A lone sailor sits at starboard..<br />
The horizon shines in his tired eyes...<br />
Ever-patient, he sits waiting.<br />
<br />
His Siren one day may come..<br />
To Her song he finds himself addicted...<br />
But without warning, she left.<br />
<br />
He believes in his adventure..<br />
As does the village where he came from...<br />
Their faith may be misplaced.<br />
<br />
He is the same but changed..<br />
Stronger now to withhold these waves...<br />
Like the Siren that swims away.<br />
<br />
A sailor dies on the deck tonight..<br />
With the waves, the buoys wave farewell...<br />
How long did he wait?<br />
<br />
As his spirit fades away at dusk..<br />
He finds her song indirectly on the waves...<br />
Can he grasp back to his body?<br />
<br />
Dusk now turns against daylight..<br />
The moon illuminates this sorrow scene...<br />
They may only have till Midnight.<br />
<br />
Do we rely now on the Lighthouse..<br />
Did he need more light on the bow to find her...<br />
There was no damage to the wale.<br />
<br />
Starlight finds us waiting..<br />
To see his body lying in the dawn...<br />
Ever-patient now the Siren?<br />
<br />
But the waves will always pound..<br />
The ship hull moves and tosses about...<br />
But the anchor holds steadfast.Jaredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00125737159502724583noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3306572660605789198.post-33191897647844727152009-07-09T18:48:00.000-05:002010-03-09T18:33:15.613-06:00Striving for a Star.<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">I've seen planets divide</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Shooting stars that collide</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">And places where men have not seen.</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">I've seen galaxies folding</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">And black holes closing</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">But I never can seem to get clean.</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Because I want to be shown</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Where angels cannot roam</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">I've given up labor for flavor and lust.</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Surpassing what makes people die.</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">When confused if Life's worth the try.</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">I've lost all intentions to find someone to trust...</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><br />

May I always remember You in times like these.<br />
You pick me up every. single. time.<br />
May I never think that I can solve all with ease.<br />
Your forgiveness is. pure. strength.<br />
May I never have to break to call out Your name.<br />
Your grace is something I. cant. grasp.<br />
May my sins remind me that I am the one to blame.<br />
Your mercy renders the. entire. universe.<br />
May I be equipped in You when in time of attack.<br />
Your holiness brings me to. my. knees.<br />
May Your Light and the angels not turn their back.<br />
Your presence alone would absorb. my soul.<br />
May Your forgiveness be my unyielding addiction.<br />
Your spoken Name creates. and. destroys.<br />
May these truths been seen as my unworthy benediction.<br />
Your love for me I don't understand. or. grasp.<br />
Dear My Lord,<br />
Never let me forget Your power.<br />
Never let me forget Your glory.<br />
Never let me forget Your honor.<br />
Never let me forget Your story.<br />
<br />
Let a single drop, I pray,<br />
Of Your Son's blood, today,<br />
Strike my head and trickle down<br />
My filth struck body, but before the ground,<br />
May I swipe it up to touch another<br />
To spread Your story, before I am put under.<br />
<br />
Amen.Jaredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00125737159502724583noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3306572660605789198.post-33814284182516208242009-06-01T19:21:00.006-05:002010-03-09T15:42:41.419-06:00Why She SingsYoung girl,<br />
Why do you sing?<br />
Little darling,<br />
Why is it sadness that you bring?<br />
You sing a sad song,<br />
The melody tells of love gone wrong.<br />
Young girl,<br />
Why do you sing?<br />
<br />
Precious daughter,<br />
Your song has no reply...<br />
Fairest lady,<br />
Let the tears fall from your eyes...<br />
Just give it a bit of time,<br />
Your chorus matches that of mine.<br />
Young girl,<br />
Why do you sing?<br />
<br />
Lovely bella,<br />
Why are you sad?<br />
Fallen angel,<br />
Be happy for the love you had.<br />
Your sorrow will not last,<br />
This broken feeling, I just got past.<br />
Young girl,<br />
Why do you sing?<br />
<br />
Why do you sing?<br />
Why do you sing?<br />
There's a harmony that's playing-<br />
That makes Fall seem like Spring.<br />
There's a million hearts exploding-<br />
Making birds take to their wings!<br />
So, oh young girl,<br />
Why is there this sad song that you sing?<br />
<br />
This song you sing to me,<br />
I've heard it once before...<br />
'cause I've been heartbroken<br />
And, of that, I am sure.<br />
But I, like this past time,<br />
And my past, so unpure,<br />
Let Time take control<br />
Of the heartache that is yours.<br />
<br />
Crying blue eyes,<br />
You'll find other lovers.<br />
Anxious friend,<br />
Take the weight o' the world off your shoulders.<br />
You have strength, let it show<br />
Feel the relief of letting him go.<br />
Young girl,<br />
There is no need to sing.<br />
<br />
Young girl,<br />
Is that a new song that you sing?<br />
Have you, like me,<br />
Clipped off painful wings?<br />
Have you taken up Time<br />
To realize unwanted things?<br />
Letting go has become easier than it seemed.<br />
<br />
So let the attributes of those we let fly,<br />
Go on their own flightlesss way,<br />
And for some reason why,<br />
Let not our hearts<br />
Sever up those ties<br />
So that all the tears<br />
That we, no doubt, will cry<br />
Be not those of sadness,<br />
But of love that has died,<br />
That will come back to us,<br />
Whether in truth or in try,<br />
To stay with us our days<br />
And continue on after we die.<br />
<br />
Your song now is beautiful.<br />
May I hear it again?<br />
The sweet melody of your voice<br />
Melts me down from within...<br />
Your chorus is perfect<br />
Like it, I've never heard<br />
There's new life and new joy<br />
Birthing from every word.<br />
Young girl,<br />
With her chime, rhyme, and ring<br />
It's now easy to see<br />
Why it is that she sings.Jaredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00125737159502724583noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3306572660605789198.post-14407567962259963292009-05-29T15:42:00.002-05:002010-03-09T15:47:33.999-06:00Heard 'Round the WorldIn this instance<br />
There's a distance<br />
Just a glance from your eyes,<br />
Is like a paralyzing strike,<br />
But a surely pleasant surprise.<br />
Yet now I'm a hostage<br />
Hung from the high bridge<br />
Your eyes contain nothing but voltage,<br />
I cant catch my breath!<br />
Like the time<br />
We combined<br />
In clasping hold outside the airline<br />
It was the embrace heard 'round the world...<br />
Now suddenly you're not that same girl<br />
For in your sudden ethereal attack,<br />
From which I won't be coming back,<br />
I heard no alibi<br />
Nor reason why<br />
You failed,<br />
When I tried.<br />
So I laughed,<br />
When you cried<br />
And it all fell apart<br />
And it died.<br />
You expected so much and no compromise..<br />
Cause all I wanted was a small promise<br />
That you'd be my accomplice<br />
And tear this old town down<br />
From the suburbs to downtown<br />
Flying free with no law-<br />
We could just run around<br />
But you took that old painting<br />
Blew the dust off from static cling<br />
And turned what we had<br />
Into some worthless form of nothing,<br />
A frozen misrepresentation of a dynamic fling.<br />
Because you never saw<br />
That I wanted to give you everything<br />
Everyday.<br />
Every place we turned.<br />
Every which way.<br />
Every second I drew breath.<br />
But now there's nothing... left but a new pain and regret<br />
To wake up to<br />
Every single day.Jaredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00125737159502724583noreply@blogger.com0
