Waiting




We're all waiting for something to make a change in our lives. 

~ When you least expect it. ~ 

The car, the driveway.
The memories, deciding.
That room, this couch.
That shirt, a way out.

The park in the moon light.
The sound of sweet lies.
Those promises again.
Those promises broken.

She was waiting for a sunny day
in a world with only rain.

The door, an entry.
The words, false serenity.
That hat, this memory.
That phrase, like candy.

The house in emptiness.
The mind's deadliness.
Those words so sweet.
Those words still plead.

She thought it was something she needed,
had no other reason.

The magic, the message.
The fate, protective.
That time, this first.
That sign, full of nerves.

The rest's irrelevance.
This one's resonance.
Those words so true.
Those doubts renewed.

There's so much she didn't know,
until she finally let go.

The food, the conversation.
The mood, true salvation.
That day, this smile.
That change, something final.

The past is the past.
The future to last.
Those eyes never lie.
Those eyes all mine.

She knows now what it means
to really have something.

She has forgotten now 
what it was like, somehow.

She's been completely renewed
to see the truth.

She is what she's been waiting for,
all she's been hoping for.

Salvation



Sometimes all you need is a steady anchor to save you. 

~ Stop the ride. ~

I was stuck on an endless rotation,
A carnival ride that wouldn't end. 
I didn't know all I needed was salvation,
One steady thing to bring me back again. 

I was comfortable always looking down,
Thinking what I saw was all I'd ever see.
When I wasn't looking you came around.
You stopped this ride for me.

I was content living in my comfortable state.
I thought this was the way to live my life, 
But I was afraid of an unpredictable fate.
I was afraid to get off this dizzy ride.

You came around, when I thought i didn't need it.
So effortlessly you changed me.
You came around and saved me from my demons.
So effortlessly you saved me.

You broke me out of this endless cycle.
You don't even know all you've done.
You helped me make my life full
And realize what I could truly become.

You helped me off this carnival ride finally.
No more endless rotation. 
Because the day you met me,
Is the day I finally found salvation.
