You decorate my life
In pinks, oranges, and blues
And every day that passes
Adds a hundred new hues
I find sprinkles of you
On the gloomiest of days
You always brighten my life
In the loveliest ways

You seem different lately
Resolved
Like you won’t dare budge
Because whatever it is
That thing you’ve decided
You’re now instead
Resolute
That’s exactly what you are
And it’s interesting
Because I thought you were doing
Just fine
You know – the way you were before
Funny thing is
You’d never admit
You’ve changed
That you’re anything different
Than what you’ve always been
But I see through
All that nonsensical jibber jabber
And you have changed
I know it
I see it
Because I know you
So believe it
Or not
Because I know you like to believe
What you believe
You seem different lately
And you are

Under his spell
She fell
She drank
An affair of the heart
In ruin
She sank
Torpedoes dispersed
She tried
To veer
But in the end
The outcome
Was clear

Here in the quiet
I wrestle with my thoughts
Screaming on the inside
Fighting for my life
Here in my aloneness
I face the iniquities of my soul
And with every silent tear
I make it through another day

There are no shortcuts
Only resolve
But it’s love
That will see us through
