Let this be my moment
as I sit here on my floor
with a pen in my hand
To be truly honest and
reveal myself
peeling back the layers
of broken stained glass.........
I never wanted to fall from grace
or get lost within this place
You were my only constant
and never let me down
so how did I become
like an angel with broken wings?
how did I fall
and forget everything?
I want to go home
and be free from all this hell
the demons they chase me
allured by my love for you
so imminent are the hounds
to tarnish my crown of light
I take my quill and in my pain
I dip them in my ink of tears
my tattoos predestined
like celestial stars
both hiding and revealing
the underneath scars
I am cradled by the crescent moon
and I find no comfort there
I tip toe among the stars
and find no companion there
I miss the way we used to dance
and how you'd fill my soul
and even when I was alone
I'd feel your kiss upon my cheek
and your hand holding mine
I miss you Lord
please stop this never ending fall
I miss your voice
I miss your smile
oh how I miss it all
I know I sit just outside the gate
please don't throw away the key
as I collect all my broken feathers
that were torn out of me
but I have learned to patch my wings
and sew and wash my gown
and though my halo has a tilt
I won't let others keep me down
and though my heart is torn
and I'm pierced and tattooed
I know that you love me
and my tears are in your hands
Even though I am lost
in the burdens of this place
I see traces of you everywhere I go
Someday you promise to return
and like a child I wait
In this night it gets so cold
I long for your warm embrace
You my only Master
You who brings me grace
my heart won't forget You
you are all I want and need
despite all my rebellious ways
your mercy means everything......
