The Light

Folder: 
2007

Despite the years of faithfulness

Seems, the pale of rain has spilled anyway

And, the floods cannot be explained

And, all the years spent collecting droplets

That fell from your cup

Have now dispersed quicker than light bulbs burn out

And, Angel, once the light has left, it never comes back



As I recall the decisions I’ve been responsible for making

I find it hard believing my youthful insecurities

And, find it harder imagining I once thought I knew what love was



Disappointment falls heavy on an unanchored heart

Swaying it back-and-forth on the levy of truth, fortitude, and faith

Until it’s impossible to ignore

And, even less possible to accept

And, years pass as moments bleed into memories

Especially, when your mind cannot escape them

And, a mind cannot escape them



Relations strain the desire to continue growing

And, some people can keep you from continuing to grow

And, some people can make you realize how little you are

And, some can make fall in love

But, in the end, you have to learn to love yourself

Cause, once the light has left, it never comes back
