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

When I read your words
All those wonderfully inspired words
A sense of longing and desire
Pulls me straight to you
As hard as I sometimes try
I can never deny your existence
Your words they come alive
Because you live in every one

We can love with all we’ve got
And we can give our hearts away
But that doesn’t necessarily mean
That the ones we love will stay
And sometimes there are people
Who just can’t love you back
No matter what we say or do
There’s something that they lack
And maybe it’s because
Some people just can’t see
The importance of a person
Who’d give everything like me

I absorb you
All of you
Drink you in
And the filter
Never changes
